Think that suggestion makes a lot of sense for 1/4 mile. But it doesn't get away from the fact that the charge temps were too hot at Donnington in the cold on the 29th too.
The other thing that really holds the car back over the 1/4 is the synco gear box. On checking the Datron graphs it showed that each gear change cost around 0.4sec. A dog box on the other hand changes gear in around 0.1sec.
Doesn't take a genius to work out what sort of effect losing 0.9sec of gear changes time would have on the 1/4 mile time...
Well, it does actually cos the car would meed to be going a lot faster over the finish line if it was to get there .9sec earlier, but you know what I mean!
PS before people think 'I don't want that box then' it applies to all the Cossie 4WD syncro boxes I've checked the data on.
PPS Cheers for the good comments guys
