I'd say yours is about right, high 11's is good on a forged motor. 12 would be the limit IMHO, 12.3 for max power and 12.5 is just wrong and will cause soaring EGTs and exhaust valve death.

Nice to know :D

Managed to show a 400bhp Evo a clean set of heels round the Sprint course on Sunday :wink: when i wasn't going sideways and backwards, or fixing my IC pipe back on :x

I should hope so to! As long as Msrs Start or Adams not at the helm.

I think Mr Start may either not be entering, or more likely he has a faster steed, as Kim was telling me he saw John's car for sale on Pistonheads.

My bet's faster. He was always winning before Kim arrived, and you two :D

He did win the B19 champ though, so he still did well.

No idea if he has actually sold it or not!

At this rate if he has something quicker, then I will need to start making my car quicker to be in the running!

Only issue with the above is it then needs someone to be able to drive it properly :!:

KW variant 3's sounds good, but all the adjustability has the potential for a rubbish set-up as I am not a expert in car set-up!

You know the first point is bollocks.

Got Zak to set the Geometry mid sprint at NW then played with the bump til I was where I liked it (bit tail-led). The rebound is for fine tuning.
