Not fussed, but after our talks yesterday why would you need/want a Hart plenum if 480bhp isn't your ideal spec.

Steve, keep the Quaife in it mate and just enjoy the car, thing is, do your Pod run, get your 120mph terminal then just leave the runs alone then and the diff WILL never shit itself on the road mate as we discussed....

It might shit itself on that one launch @ Pod though....

I will keep the quaife for the moment and see how i get on with it.

I love the power it now has, but i feel the car was more driveable when it had around 370bhp.

It might be fine in the dry, just felt like it made the car twitchy last night in the damp, like you could feel the power going from side to side.

unfortunatly steve thats the nature of the diff they snatch from side to side as its still a viscuss if it was plated it would lock and spin both at te same time ! some will say that your better off having power to wheel thats gripping better than the other but overall it makes for a twitchy car and wont feel at all planted .Instead of pod try a track day steve to get a real feel of the car .

Going back to you power level 380 bhp in a cossie is the beststate of tune for road use to get the power down right i wouldnt buy another inlet i would saving for a beam so geometry will improve then more grip
