Thanks for letting me take out your P&J Pascal. Truly amazing experience.
And as has been said, the accelerative ability is astounding, and set at such low boost too....
But in any gear, you just plant your right foot and the thing just takes off. Controllably as it is so linear. But it just always there.
I never, ever thought that I would call my car slow. But getting into her after my little spin it just felt so ordinary.
A fantastic piece of work by some really talented guys at Racing Green. So damned good to see your silly grin Pascal.
Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy....

OK, specs:
Probably will mess up things, but by heart:
FFF head,
DLC coated pistons,
H style conrods
Half counterweight crankshaft (quite a fancy one, I might add
)
Quaife LSD
triple plate race clutch
Big bore exhaust (now with some REALLY loud cans on it)
Water injection kit
Rotrex supercharger with possibility to fit different pulley sizes without having to change the belt.
Coming to that, I talked to Racing Green and for now the boost level is set to the lowest option (only 0.5 bar).
Numbers... Well: 480bhp, and just shy of 400 lbs ft torque between 2800 and 6500rpm. But remember, these are boost levels to run in the car properly.
How does it drive? Well...
Was taken out by "Woody", he first went pretty slow, then all of the sudden floored it. My reaction was the same as Lee's in the other threat "FxxK". No other word for it, it really is that brutal in terms of acceleration.
Driving it myself: at first took some time to get used to the "binary" mode of the clutch, but once you're used to how fast it actually starts to grip, you get away pretty easily. Driving itself is well... happily pootling along, then whenever you push it (or to explain even think about accelerating, it already does).
Going to drive it now for a few weeks, tomorrow just normal driving, on Monday the first outing on track (all be it a very short one), and in September I'll be back at RG for more (seriously looking at 600 reliable bhp then) LOL

dont forget the simplex and half time bearing stuff in ur spec list pascal 
As I said, there is so many that has been specced, that I don't know by heart anymore what's all inside and on the engine Coming to think of it, indeed the chain mechanism, the special sump plate, and probably other "small" but great stuff like that, I didn't even remember...

someone said they thought dom's 4.5 was on the dyno at the griff growl, anyone know what it made?
After all the willy waving on here it appears Dom's car made 60bhp less than expected according to a post on the TVRCC forum by Jools(trackcar).Wrong type of dyno,wrong type of weather, moon out of phase with the sun
.....anything else Bodders

I ithink something was also changed to the exhaust?
