Steven:
Thanks mate.
Am using a 4.2kg flywheel so it can be fussy to launch. Yesterday I just couldn't get the wheels to spin enough and it just kept bogging. Sunday it could have launched like that all day long. 1.6s 60ft should be possible.
What were the quickest times on yours btw?
Still room for improvement so watch this space![Smile](images/smilies/smile.gif)

Finally get around to doing the tedious task of posting full details:
Quite a warm day at the Pod. Got there at around midday and met up with Tas.

660ft: 8.334
990ft: 10.676
1/4 ET: 12.755
1/4MPH 112.18
Was aiming for 12.1secs@115mph so I am very pleased with the results
. Changing shift points, as AndyF suggested has helped alot, particularly noticeable on the terminals ![Thumb](images/smilies/thumb.gif)
My personal bests have now gone (in day order) 12.49@110mph (santa pod), 12.21@111mph (Avon Raceway) to 12.09@114mph (Santa Pod).
60ft wasnt 'perfect' so I still feel there is a little more room for improvement.![Norty](images/smilies/norty.gif)
Quickest car on UK internals?
Very happy with the car. No tweaks ever needed since it was mapped and no raceday tweaks to boost or ignition.

I know, I know. Just trying to be a tight git I suppose ![Wink](images/smilies/wink.gif)
Wont be able to come to JapShow unfortunately as I have a wedding to attend.
Tas got v respectable times and I'm sure he'll improve on them. He just needs to resist heads-up temptation.
You going to have a go down the strip this time?

looks like the track did it's usual trick of getting less and less grippy as the day wore on, all very familiar at the Pod on rwyb days I'm afraid.
Cool start to the day seemed to help too, as your power dropped off during the day.

1st run was after midday.
60ft: 1.729
330ft: 5.018
660ftMPH: 89.28
660ft: 7.748
990ft: 10.045
1/4 ET: 12.097
1/4MPH 114.24
Best at Avon Raceway:
60ft: 1.701
330ft: 5.043
660ftMPH: 91.07
660ft: 7.783
990ft: 10.123
1/4 ET: 12.210
1/4MPH 111.77
All on the same spec. Avon Raceway wasnt cool either though.
Was shifting earlier at Pod whereas I was shifting later at Avon. Quicker/earlier gearchange into 2nd gear too at the run at Pod.
The surface at Pod wasnt as consistant as Avon Raceway.
Still think there's a little to be had off the time.

Bob just looked at your 660ft MPH....that looks a little weird to me, what about you?
you were 2mph slower, yet crossed the line 3mph faster....?

Neil: I was shifting around 6500rpm. Your shift point will depend on your turbo and where you are making power.
Kev: Cheers mate. Come down to North Weald for sprinting next month?
Paul: Wel I cant increase the power or anything, its on one map which is my everyday road map. Can save some weight on a alu bonnet and lightweight battery I guess. Not sure if it will be significant enough though. I know I can launch a 60ft 0.028sec quicker as it is.

weight reduction will do it easy.....
yeah me saying ill shift at 6k is on the 3rd to 4th in my car because i dont think theres benefit after that. My rev limit is set at 6750 anyway.

I dont know about easy mate. Can't be arsed to do anything more than the battery and bonnet.
Cant believe I'm chasing 11s now
Was happy when I finished the upgrades, to run anything in high 12s, knowing that 12.5secs 'might' have been possible.
Does it ever end?
