Tornado went to the plex last night.

13.2 @ 111 mph, 2.34 60'

Happy with the mph..
The 60' aint going to get a whole lot better on street tyres I think. Maybe a couple/few 10th's.. just too heavy with no weight over the back wheels.

Let's see how she goes next week with the 'improved tune'.. can't wait.

Excellent work... Although it shows how much I bogged down just before the tree..

Thanks for that.

Good work Ben.

You've started something now..... We're heading down next week, drag that black behemoth down and we'll run some decent times. Hell, a 'quick' car on wed nght was running low 12's on slicks

Fastest time I saw was an abnormal rex with rotational and launch running low 11's @ 210kph..

And after driving Gregs' well fcuk me sideways

not my fault you couldnt come over yesturday and its also not my fault you changed your zorst and gave yourself 4 pounds extra boost. Now lets get it sorted

btw thats a nice zorst design u have there greg to imcrease boost by 4 pounds

.

How does it sound? Does it drone at all? If not then thats a sweet way to get more power.

Don’t think we should go there as I’ve driven there so many times now I can’t count them.

WTF has this got to do with the tune problems? All the above are still there and as such the Zorst had nothing to do with them.

The exhaust only highlighted the massive restriction that the exhaust actually has, Remembering I had already fitted a defilipo 3.5”Cat before this and it was still hitting the wall.

But a 48rwkw gain from doing what I did with the exhaust and a rise in boost from 16 to 19.9 tells me something…..even after dropping in a generic map and reducing the boost back to 16psi it still had a 43rwkw gain!!!!
