I have sent a book and not for Shredder. Stefan could not optimize the engine on the quad because he was very busy completing the work on the new commercial releases. The same is true for the engine as in the last 2 years and a half he only worked on the engine less than a month as we did not need to increase the strenght much because we were on the top. Now he is working on the engine full time and I think he will until March at least. This is why I am optimistic about the outcome. Sandro
