my limiter is 7800rpm and holds the power right to the limiter,according to andys rollers today it dropped the power at just over 5000rpm,not sure if his man backed off then but it was definitly pulling hard to 7500rpm on the 1/4,and my torque reading showed higher than my bhp,i seriously doubt thats the case

comparing this graph to my recent ava one the wheel fig seems to be pretty consistant with the figs today on andy g`s upto 6200rpm where the run ended,its after that to 7800rpm my car makes another 50+@wheels bhp
well done andy and charlie,both cars were flying today

Was up at crail today too with my mate in his Mk2 Astra turbo. Had a few problems, burst the radiator on the way up, managed to get it sealed up to get a couple of runs in then the car started missing badly. Managed a high 13, think it has a low 13 in it though.
Col the astra went up the strip with you at one point - you both got a no run
think one of you jumped the start and the other one went for it so you both ended up away too early
AG Cars as ever were flying, seen charlie doing a 10.7 in andys car.
Seen Charlies old focus come of the oval at speed too, young chap driving, giving it mega beans, lost it an pitched it right into the field, went up on 2 wheels and landed quite hard, hope no damage was done.
Quality day

cause we were only doing quick power runs the rpm is only roughly matched to the rollers so it is not true rpm, if we put the clip on the plug lead it would of been true, and also no big fan to get charge temps down.

Was a great day at crail today 
even though a steering problem occured going through st andrews 
weather was great n plenty great cars 
got heaps of photos and videos, got a video at the end of the AG focus racing an mr2 (both were mentally fast and owning the strip) was a close race.
Seen a few cars even in the car park i reconized from mags not even entering the 1/4 mile or the show n shine.
My time on the 1/4 mile wasnt as good a time as I expected. Fastest was a 13.6, even though I cant take off in 1st and 2nd without wheelspinning everywhere just have to put it pretty much straight to 3rd
anyone after a load of photos pm me
oh and did anyone see my car? :
