S Squid Unregistered
Squid Unregistered S	13.7 is a good time for a 24obhp Coupe. The best I managed a few weeks back was 13.3 and that was with 416bhp, but with a boost leak as the pipe burst! I hate to think what much more than 400bhp will be like to launch on road tyres. It will be down to the technique more than the power of the car I think, and my technique is crap! Is anyone going to be using track tyres this Saturday?

S Squid Unregistered
Squid Unregistered S	Dont forget everyone that Jasons figures will be well short of what would be possible on a colder day. Ambient was well over 30 degrees yesterday and I believe Jason was seeing intake temps up to 70 degrees Mine is in for a final bit of tweeking today, but mostly for cold (!?) running and idle. I'm not expecting anything great on power.

TurboJ Unregistered T	Even if it does rain at 1pm it will be light and short. the track will dry quick with a few runs from the v8 boys . Also track opens at 9:30am so thats plenty of time to do some runs.
