These should be my results:
Quarter Mile Acceleration: 16.183 seconds.
Terminal speed: 92.2805 mph
That seems about right IMO. Never really tested it. But looking at the Termina Speed it should be correct. smileys/smiley17.gif

fd been changed from 4.2 to 3.6. tops out 120ish @ 7100, has revved to 8239 though but don`t do that much as i`m not into bending valves!
got some footage in car just mainly to catch the noise of the box. got about different clips so have to sort them out and send them. when i sent them to jarule by e-mail they crashed his inbox due to size of them,lol

well im back and i was quite dissapointed i ran a near straight 20,i was two up tho and i had my alloys on which make it lagg,we marked it pretty accuratly but only got one run as it was gettin two busy,1/4 mile on a mile stretch is a long way to have the entire road to urself,im gona do one abit closer to home and do some more,on my own not with my mate,also the timing gear was bollocks we were usin a second hand(ha ha) smileys/smiley9.gif ill get back to u lot with some better times soon i hope
