Your performance goals this coming year!?

Get the 'variable' driveability of late sorted once and for all.
Shave off enough weight to get below or at a metric tonne. Two piece front brake discs (sadly not available for the rear, but the solid rear discs are only 3.35 kg apiece new) and an alloy rad should get me there... (currently 1.015-1.020 kgs by my guesstimation)?
I feel ~300 bhp/tonne will make the car as fast as I realistically want it to be on the road.

1. Carry out Rob's induction mods which should complete the current modification phase
2. Rolling Road remap to get everything working spot on.
3. See 370 plus at the fly as a result of items 1 & 2 above
4. Send the nut behind the wheel off somewhere to fine tune it's already God like driving skills
5. Try and get time off work sometime this year to meet up with you lot so you can all be astounded at the combined results of items 1 - 4 above
(and hope my impending ban isn't for too long)

After being without the Griff for a year, it would just be great to get the car back and on the road, period!!
Not been on the dyno yet but the goal is just to run anything over 500BHP, more than enough for me.
Get the car handling as good as it was before the re-build.
As for the 350c its hard to see where i can improve it without compromising its originality. The 4lt red rose motor is kicking out just shy of 400bhp, but if i'm honest after scratching my SP6 itch i'm not totally enamoured with the engine characteristics, love it when i can keep it singing away high in the rev range on track, but feels a bit gutless on the road but that could just be me being used to high powered V8's
Main goal is to run quicker lap times at Spa and Oulton Park and try and stick with Andy and Perry round the ring:]

Tune for around 15psi boost and see what happens...Want to run low elevens and show them supercharger boys the way forward
