Well done Bryan, it`s really not that easy as it looks to run good times.

I hope your not burning out in the water with those treaded tyres? The Mickey Tompson street radials are what you need chap ;)

Yeah yeah! I hear you Scotties already lookin' into a shift light ;).
The funniest comment of the weekend is when you said "we need to look at the car again it sounds a bit flat" to which I said "it's not the car it's the driver"


:lol:

Yes it did, 727 reverse shift, and i'm a bit on the gentle side on shifts 5k max, think in the back of my mind was gettin' home ;)

Yeah, the getting home thing matters, I understand.
What's the build ?
Probably should be shifting higher, maybe 5,700 or more.

6200 - 6500 :thumbright: :thumbright: :thumbright:

Depending on engine build. Any lower and you are out of the torque band......

I used to shift the 400 / 512 at 6800....ish.........
