In second gear the revs rise so quickly on the short 3.9 gearing that the boost follows a slightly different curve anyway and feels very smooth.
3rd onwards its got so much natural grip that when the power does come in, which starts building at 3500rpm it just accelerates hard and doesn't feel like it's pushing the grip limits.

Really nice conversion, wether you change gear at 5k or 7k its straight back on the power in the next gear either way and pulls hard regardless.


Doug is over the moon with it, he wasn't a fan of revving the old engine as hard as you had to in order to make quick progress and now it's faster at 1000rpm less.
