well after the 1st shake down at santa pod it was disapointing

i knew it was laggy (new exhaust housing and manifold waiting to go on) but thought i would take it and see what it could do in this state (only running 1 bar, NO nos and a standard open diff)
ive streched the gears out as long as i could to drop the revs to the start of it boosting but didnt account for wheel spin so from 1st to 3rd it drops off the boost due to the road speed not matching the engine speed and then takes time to build up, so the 1st 1/8th is spent wheel spinning and dropping off boost and taking 10 secs, the last 1/8th gets traction and is covered in 4 secs crossing at 110mph
with the new turbo it will still be in boost when i change gear and with the new manifold i can run another 12 psi and the nitrous so can knock a few secs off my best time so far
