Power doesn't necessarily mean its going to be quicker... I found this out after going to the GT40, we made 150more at the wheels and lost 5mph on the terminal...... figure that one out!

With the 148 terminal the cars capable of a 9.5 - but the best thing is we have plenty left in the motor, we would have gone further yesterday but it was way too busy and ran out of time.

I'd like to break into the 150's on the terminal and get a 9.5 - both of which are realistic goals.
