I think my 19stone mass and the 330mm discs and king size calipers might make up the difference

My 60ft time is crap @ 2.361sec
I have fitted rear shims and new tyres and it grips a lot better now, hope my 60ft time improves.

i ran 117's with 350ish, Crap 60fts will benefit if you only after a high speed.

I want to impove both my times and terminal speed.
Surely if you have a better 60ft your terminal will be faster as you have more distance to accelerate ?

I would hope that helps as well due to the car holding 4psi more boost @ 6000rpm
