BTW Jesus does not operate alone. He comes with disciples such as John the Intake and Matthew the EWP. Peter the Throttlebody however might not be needed at the last supper. Judas the NOS is also not yet invited, he comes with complexity and betrayal of Jesus's core principles smile

Heat soak is the enemy of FI. I mean - just look at my results (top left first, bottom right - last)

See?

Aero wink

All that great work done with the underbody kit, the stubby spoiler and sharkfin aeriel...completely mullered by the W427 bumper which is as aerodynamic as a brick smile

From this:

Has mad a massive difference to the V-Max - you really can feel it at 165+

as ive said before its more about how quick it gets to that speed,
than NA having time to catch up before the mile marker wink

this is why imho you need 1/2 mile times and mile times.

What a load of twaddle, I bet Emma to over 160mph before she passed me.

Actually Gary's track times are exactly what you should be getting with properly configured hardware and software.

You don't know how difficult it was for me to achieve a 186 at TR. Having to faff about mollycoddling the old girl all day to get her to play.

I'd almost kill for Gary's consistancy. That's how FI should be.

Mind you:

FI vs NA, FI won this year and the last time I played with NA boy I also won. Remember second place is still being a looser!

Let's see what the heartbeat can do with a few more supporting odds and sods.

Don't go daft chasing power and it should be a weapon. If you overdrive PD blowers they just turn into heat pumps at WOT and lose power, less is definitely more. For VMax you are probably better off with a big centri and the right gearing.
