Fast that

Sounds sweet on the change. Twin clutches are the way to go for sure.

The 3 runs on screen were 3.1, 3.2 and 3.4 but I think the box must be set up for 12" rollout for 1/4 mile

Alot better than 4.7 that's for sure pal 😁👍

Just checked it has 12" rollout enabled so set up for 1/4 mile rather than from dead stop
Best run

That's at about 3000 rpm launch rpm so plenty more to come hopefully with more grip mate 👍

Launch speed is about the best torque to move the mass with minimal spin. Mine launches at 3500rpm with 0.5bar boost. Any more boost and I get lots of wheelspin and a wasted gear.

I spoke to my mapper today about raising launch rpm which he told me how to do but said as it is it's about as good as can be as there's a little wheelspin already, but once I get suspension altered with more squat hopefully will give more grip so I can get the rpm up higher
ive got a sidevideo of rear wheel on launch just need to figure out how to play it back in slow motion to check squat atm
​​​​​​will be easier on some big drag slicks I suppose once I get to that on the 18" rims but want to maximise road spec first 👍

I used HPC Media player for most, you can slow it down to around 0.13x I think

Or even in Moviemaker it allows you to go down to about 0.25x

That's perfect cheers buddy 👍
Can see a little squat but it's not much hopefully 12% softer springs will help it, it's got alot of rake aswell back is 20 mm higher than front
And drivers side is approx 7 mm higher than passengers, wondering if I should reduce the rake and corner weight the car once new springs are on 🤔🤔
