Rab will be cool as long as you dont hold in in the higher gears.

You should see between 260-290 ATW.

Think my old engine was the highest for anormal stage 3.... 287 ATW

Yeah johnny was saying his made 265 or there abouts and his feels rapid on road , so that will be good enough for me just now , but sometimes the rollers flings some new un-found problems your way so not get my hopes too high at the moment

Here goes anyway

Hi Stu had to laugh at "what could go wrong?"

LOL only the usual arm long list of 20 year old cossie faults............bad fuel pump wiring, failing loom, crushed fuel lines, knackered engine, blown head gasket, bad mismatch of engine spec, knackered turbo/headgasket/radiator/intercooler, bodged boost hoses with no swages on intercooler pipes, non genuine ignition leads, wrong plugs, faulty sensors, slipping clutch, worn bushes, faulty suspension, knocking diff, wining gearbox, bald tyres, juddering brakes, non working lights/indicators, no tax or mot................to name just the regular faults...............ROFLOL

How Stu and I laugh but really do have the above issues to deal with on each and every car...................These cars are VERY old now and need lots of work to make good!!!
