And his write up about it (and Parattani) can be found here.

I took the list and tinkered until I came up with this:

Lieutenant Blount (17)
Veteran Instincts (1)
XX-23 S-Thread Tracers (1)

Gold Squadron Pilot (18) x3
Autoblaster Turret (2)
Plasma Torpedoes (3)
Extra Munitions (2)
Targeting Astromech (2)
Guidance Chips (0)

Total: 100

The extra punch from more torpedoes and another autoblaster may or may not make up for the decrease in bodies. Biggest concern is PS9+ with a Hot-Pants Copilot. The Targetting Astromechs can help though. Dropping a torpedo shot after a K-turn or a four straight is pretty fun. Ran this list only once so far but it has some potential. Any thoughts or suggested tweaks?
