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

Managed to show a 400bhp Evo a clean set of heels round the Sprint course on Sunday

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

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

Saw Johns car at the excel racing car show with an ad on it, didnt know he had actually sold it.

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!

Big Turbo chap. And some KWs.

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.
