My VS makes an extra 1.5Kw if I fashion a cold air scoop out of cardboard.


What if you used carbon fibre?

In my exhaustive and extensive testing I have found that carbon fibre adds 0.005Kw.
This is an inferred value as the power increase is related to a weight saving rather than an actual increase in output.

If I told you I was a compulsive liar, would you believe me?
