Lost a little bit of power but gained 70ish lb ft, power is coming in much earlier... Fingers crossed for York now!

Will try and get the graph online in a bit...

Well done beer

So its a few lb ft and hp up on what it was on the 3076

Personally your not pushing that anywhere near hard enough to warrant having that turbo on there especially for the costs of going down that route.

I'd like to think your having us on but I guess your not.

Either way that car has a 10 sec pass in it with that power anyway so thats what he wanted smile

Grip was generally shit today!

Yes Wenny is here, done some 11.1's but fuel is far too hot - tank is roating to the touch!

Speckles has done an 11.6, 11.55 and 11.51 all 132 or 133 terminals. Had bonnet and tailgate off for one of the runs and did a 1.92 60ft!!

We have decided that you are generally 3 tenths faster at pod than york going by previous events (although there are a lot of variables so that is a very general estimate) - so in theory should see low 11's at pod I reckon!

Off back home shortly, weather forecast for tomorrow is shit!

1.92 6ft doesnt sound like bad grip, in fact thats better than he has ever had at pod isnt it?

the 1st 60ft was really good but after that it was shit.
