Don't get me started on that I ended up getting stressed at tony a few times sorry 1 min there was 3 before me, then 3 fiesta and 2 cossies and i was next then he started putting s2's on Then i got told hhm bad news theres a few more and some evo's! Then he tried telling me it was not down to him he was putting on the cars the mag wanted I have never heard some one tell so many porkies in the space of a morning Stick to what ya say tone and be firm Should have just run in the order people turned up and if they didn't turn up till late that would have been there own fault

Was a good but very cold day

Was a little dissapointed with my power only 339bhp @ 5580rpm, hoped to get 350bhp.

Was well happy with the torque, hoped for 330 lb/ft but got 350 lb/ft with a nice flat curve not a spike

Nice to put faces to names

Well done Beach on your result i was well impressed will have to fit my 400s now.

Steve.

not good, it had a top end misfire so he wouldn't rev it over 4900, so power was well down but it made 391 lbs/ft torque which was good, should make good power when i sort the misfire
