Not so Daz rolleyes both are made from different materials like Tufnol not sure what the thin (SC Power) one is made of and 10mm on the intake is going to make fk all difference to torque or BHP confused well not so you would notice wink its blended versus trumpets where the difference's are scratchchin

Ever thought about thermal wrapping the intercooler pipework? As it runs over the y piece it might be advantageous to try to keep the internal passing air cooler.
The temperature differential of in/out of the intercooler is huge so any tiny extra heat that goes into it from the exhaust I think is negligible.

Possibly negligible, but cooler going in from the charger should mean cooler coming out to the Plenum, every little helps.
Used to monitor inlet temps on my scooby so its a bugbear of mine.

I will be at York in 2 weeks if anyone is adventurous enough to tag along.

Will check the calendar and see if we can pick a date at the pod or Shakey.

Neal ran 11.9 with over 400 bhp but his car was a different animal.
I think with your tyres and smooth power delivery you can beat that. Barrie will be ahead of you tho.
