J - thats what I have come to conclusion of - 740's will be the babies running at around 80% DC at 390bhp so wont be too oversized for the immediate future plus allow a bit more should i decide to make the final push towards the target of 450.

In the meantime I will give myself a little headroom with a fuel pressure increase.

I have got my eyes on some bling parts for next year though thanks to some of our supplier friends:

What do you think?

I know Frayz will come back and say NO BODY KITS....

But I love the wide body kits for the scooby!!!!
I would be very very jealous!

Not looking at the wide body kits now - rear diffuser and a front splitter will do the job for me as partially functional

Still very nice cosmetic upgrades, with certain added functionality!

Like the front splitter mate.. everything else is worthy of the skip IMO.. Spend you money on performance, she's a stunning car that i think would be ruined with all that bolt on chargespeed shite.

Function is where its at, if it looks pretty too then thats a bonus

Only bodykit thats worthy are the carbon WRC items.... Subtle splitters and smooth enhancements are nice too.

Duncan are you attempting to get 450 without going internal on the engine??

wont be able to - hence why I am going to stop at 380 ish for now and then go internal at a later date with pistons/rods and a bigger turbo. Injectors and fuelling will be done as part of the current phase before track season starts next year.

I think it is quite driveable at the moment and dont want to go too fast down this route until my skill level goes up

Also it will be sporting a custom designed new BigPower Team livery

... more details when the design is finished 8)
