what fun I have had in the last few days,
Mark Shead has done a awesome job mapping my car between Rod Bell and Mark they have got this car flying.
in the end we did not need to push the revs and boost to the limit to make it go well.it is running on the safe side
there could be more power to be found but we want the engine to last.

this is what it is mapped to

9,200 REVS can rev to 11,000
2.4 BAR BOOST no need to use 2.8 bar Yet
10.5 AFR very safe
840 EGT also very very safe.

At bruntingthorpe we were using the circuit the straight is only
3/4 mile long we were coming onto the straight in 3rd gear at about 30 / 40 mph and taking it to 9000 revs in every gear apart from 6th.
The most we seen in 6th gear was 8500 revs,Rod worked that out to be about 210 mph in the 1/2 mile because we needed the last 1/4 mile to stop the car now that it has the small R32 brakes back on,the car was so stable at that speed that Mark did not feel the need to put on his crash helmet that he took with him to be honest we did not expect the car to pull that speeds down that short straight.
