Thanks gentleman, looking forward to my first track day, going to see what there is over the next week, and def going to Italy for Monza and Spa, all being well., Im back at Bespoke Saturday to collect my car, so if any of you guys are free maybe a small meet is in order, and a short drive to a pub lunch and chat about our cars. Thinking around midday?

Glad to hear all is working fine. I'm pretty local to Bespoke, but will still be in Portugal on Saturday so won't be able to join you. When you go on your track-day, I hope you fare better than a mate of mine at Estoril today whose trip computer registered 2 mpg yikes when we got a rare bit of dry track (GT2 running 750bhp).

keeps pushing on all the way to 7350 were we set the rev lmt,

That's a nice amount of power there sundance!
How come you have capped the revs at 7350 when others take the mountune engine to 8000. do you not think there would be a gain to be had there?

Hi Steve, yes your right they would be a gain, but by capping the revs its keeping the engine safer, and with this power I didnt see the point ofputting the extra strain on the engine.

yes i guess that's pretty sensible. and with that much power at the taps you don't need to thrash the nuts off it all the way round to 8K RPM

What I have done is Cal 1 to 5 is capped at 7krpm as I wont be using them on track,and 6 to 8 7350rpm for the track.
I was going to have Cal 8 revving to 8k but thought better of it. The original idea was to keep everything as safe and reliable as poss, but still be fast.
