Default My 3 Door off the line at Shelsley Walsh

I didn't have the best weekend results wise due to huge ACT's causing the ECU to dial out my fuel and spark
I finished last in my class all thou weirdly I have the fastest finsh line speed of 98mph out of the class and joint quickest esses approach speed of 88mph.
It was my first outing at Shelsley Walsh so plenty of room for improvement.
Here's a video I got sent of me off the line where the commentator describes me as "quite nutty"

It appears that while the Airtech 100mm intercooler works very well while your on the move it suffers quite bad with head soak.
I can sit in the start up lane for upto 15 minutes and it just nukes the ACT I left the line the before I showed it any boost with 45 degrees of ACT so as soon as I hit 6 grand plus you get a big bang as can be seen in the video and then no more power.
And because Shelsley is so short and it was so warm the cooler just doesn't have time to get the ACT's down.

It's getting a check over next thursday and i'm fitting a water injection system to keep the ACT's in check

The hissing you can hear at the start is my GF spraying the front of the intercooler with CO2 but it didn't have any effect.

My GF was on the line and she said I made a small boy go crying to his Dad as I warmed the rear tyres up lol.
