But if it does need a re-build it gives me an excuse to go to 3.8 litres and 9e20 conversion.

Many thanks, i'm sitting and waiting to hear what has happened and what it will take to put it right. I'll update the thread when i hear.

The engine didn't need a re-build thank god and i picked up the car last Monday.

It is a bit of a monster and i'm loving it.

I had a play at Santa Pod and i managed a best of 11.2 @ 129mph

I think there is a 10sec run in it with a bit of practice and some better tyres.

am using pilot sports at normal pressures. think with some cups or 888 with lowered pressures and a bit more pressure a 10 is there.

Loving the tiptronic box. its loads faster now it been upgraded and is meant to be indestructible at my power level.

Oooooooooooooooo

I always worry about making claims like that online (or anywhere else) Stu, just incase the tuning gods are watching and waiting to trip us up!! 9e seem to have a great reputation and I know you 'rate' them too, so I hope I'm worrying about nothing.

Would be interesting to see what someone like Webster's would make of your tyre choice and pressure recommendations..........

They seem to have a hand in many of the seriously quick drag cars that I know from John Bradshaw's Zed to Big Fils Mustang and Martin Smith's 8 second GTR etc etc etc

Yeah that should find some time. Are you still on for June 5th at Snett? Now I have only got the alignment to do I'm gonna book, (wanted to make sure rear end repairs (ooh er) didn't turn into a nightmare) so will be good to get out with a few people.
