Top times, Jon!

Is it repeatable? Any damage? Drive it home?

Future plans? Was it a soft tune?

Thanks everyone for the compliments ... what a positive friendly club !!

Kev ... there`s a bit left yet, no damage done. It was a very mild Bananarama! ( somewhere 120 - 140 hp ) on a very conservative set up.

I`m playing it safe and going 1 step at a time but I reckon the car will ultimately end up something like 10.3 motor only and 9.6 nitrous ( will never use more than 150 hp ) .... Can`t see it going any quicker ???

It`s very much fine tuning now : plug gaps / plug temps / fuel pressure / jetting / caltrac settings / damper settings / shift points / launch rpms etc

Right laugh to drive though .... this was originally a slant 6 Valiant and they weren`t really mean`t to be a hi-po car.
