If you count 440-450ish as big, then me and it was a 300 mile round trip (unlike Dingly who lives down't road ).

I have no idea It holds 1.7 bar and is 7.5:1, so probably similar amount to yours now given the mileage . Considering how I struggled with some of the Sierra's down the straights, probably wise if I just say 400bhp as well .

Both Dave's and Mike's cars looked evenly matched down the straight. Was interesting to watch the session of about 8 laps where you were more or less together
