Looks manly enough
Yeah they have a drag coeffecient under .3 IIRC
We've not had charge temps over 20 degrees yet when on the move, so that shoudl be ok hopefully.
Dont think 180 is realistic though with around 400bhp, Yum was a LOT more than that when he did his 178mph
Im seeing Rod on wednesday probably, so he'll be able to give me chapter and verse on what sort of power yields what sort of speeds so we can make a final tyre choice to set the gearing.
Currently we're planning on gearing it for 175mph at 7000rpm, which is a bit higher speed than we expect to get to but that is geared past peak power anyway I suspect.
