Bare in mind i am gonna be on 7.9-1 comp ratio and most probably the MD240 R and hopefully SECS S8 managment..so hopefully nice and drivable....so by the time the 600 plus boys come on boost i'd have already kicked ass

Hi Phil,
U'm, isn't that the same bhp figure you had b4 mate.. lol
sorry, I haven't been on here much - working overseas, i thought you broke your cossie down and sold everything mate..?
are re-building it and re-spec. the set-up for less lag..?
good luck with your new project, i'm sure it will be one of IMA Racing's finest.

cheers.
Manoj
