Very best of luck for the day. If Dave dons his Kamikaze bandana prior to his run in your car, prepare for the worst. He has had a frustrating summer with no GT4. He may be releasing that frustration on your transmission :lol:

Out of interest, which venue are you using?

Nope, tbh i have a fair bit of milage on my engine and my big 16g can take my cams my ralliart program, and the other bits and bobs. Engines are dirt cheap out here so ive decided to hang out on the turbo, until i have a rebuilt possibly forged new engine, that way everything should work well together and i wont have to worry about crankwalk for a while. I know im good to about 380 (safely) on the b16g so with the cams and other parts im looking at about 350ish max with more boost also and methanol injection. So not really worried thats more than enough for me right now. Im going to get a rebuiled kit for the fpgreen also. Its seems good but i would like to play it safe.
So hoping for high 12's at the strip, (not 1/4 mile) providing my stock clutch holds for a few passes with 5500rpm launch, so far its done ok. Thats on the ralliart program, 1.2bar poss 1.3 at a desperate push as im still on a stock head gasket , Intake, full exaust system, and free mods, such as ported manifold and o2 housing and maf sensor hack. The car is quick, bear in mind im running 103 pump gas :D
We shall see. remembe rthe car is still fairly new to me, i still have a lot to learn, fingers crossed
