for the bigger hp cars that need the grip off the line i can see it being an advantage at santa pod. (if you want to be in the 1.4-1.6 range), for sure that advantage off the line will take another potential second off the big guns.

but on a mild car that isnt running slicks or hoping to get off the line like that, a 2.0 60ft at crail or santapod is still going to give the same results, 400m is 400m is all im saying.

Calums car (synXero) is 372Bhp, he was only getting terminals of 106mph, I was all over him through 1st and 2nd gear but he was catching up without too much hassle in 3rd and 4th.

12.71 at I think with 111mph I'll have to look. Only 2.0 60ft as well.

Got another two 12.9s and two 13.0's.

Having the car remaped next year so will be running more power. Well I hope lol but for a basic tune you can't complain.


nice time! it really is all in the launch.
must be over 320hp for terminals up there?

111mph are the same as what that guy in the first link was posting.


I've no idea of the power output ive never had it on the rollers. I'll ask them to run it before the remap out of curiosity.

But before the rebuild I managed three 12.9's and many low 13's.

The rebuilt engine did 5 runs as follows.

13.0528 @ 109.65
12.9906 @ 109.65
12.9876 @ 110.04
13.0537 @ 110.86
12.7179 @ 111.40

But with a fresh engine and lower compression ratio that in theory will better suit our fuel I can't really say it's standard spec. They engine does feel very smooth in its power delivery and it does sound different in a smooth running way.

Good terminals man, some of the higher power cars were only getting similar speeds although with a faster time!
