Neil - Haven't changed my cars spec or technique, it's just about getting everything right! Which i did a few times over the weekend

White RS1600i - Only running stage 3 power around 330-340bhp

So 12.6 not bad for a shonky stage 3 taxi

He is running a stage 1 Bernie box, his only just had it fitted after the other stage 1 Berine box shat itself, it managed 100`s of launchs though

Smit i reckon if you sorted your wanky suspension out it would go even better
