all i can say from following Dave last night is that the car is mental.........as soon as it comes on boost the sound is awsome......and then it just dissapears .................and he wasn't giving it much and i was flat out(without much grip in 2wd)......did look really good putting the back end out under acceleration more booooooooooooost

Sounds like a cracking motor, congrates! Perhaps you want to look at your suspension and geometry set-up though. I have over 525lbft from 4k and mine might scrabble a little, but it certainly dont light the wheels up in 2nd and 3rd.

It has 3 way Ledas coilovers all round, Adj Tca's and a Ahmed rear beam set up. What doesnt help is the proxies tyres and there was lots of standing water
i thought you had Paradas?

now they ARE crap in the damp/wet
