Alrite I see Neil so quik spool had a little effect then, I noticed a big difrence and when I swapped back to 4x4 in both lag and exhaust note and the gt30 option I will leave that for when I get used to and bored of the t34 with 55s lol

wrap a 2wd manifold and youd notice a diffrence its the heat loss thats the trouble

4x4 manifolds strangle the power

anyone who tells you anything about a gearbox and power and doesn't talk about revs is not worth listening to
