Was only running 10 psi, boost controler was pissing me off. was leaving the line with no boost otherwise wheel spin to the 1000 ft mark. was also hitting the rev limiter about two and a bit car lengths before the finish line. so hopefully i can push into the 12s with so bigger, sticker tyres and more boost. look out steve LOL. hopefully one of as do it soon.

Mmm gotta agree give u good gains on the dyno but doesnt seemt to equate on the track........ Ne1 got ideas for who to source a cam for my thing when ive got the gas turbo setup up n running?????

But in jays defence he is by far the best bloke ive ever dealt with buying car parts so goddamn helpful. And from what ive heard the stg3's pull like u wouldnt believe ive read hornets getting 500nm @3300rpm so that would have to hopefully pull a good time. Just have to wait for sum1 to get out on the track. And mine seems to tick a little too much i think the mechanic may not have installed the cam correctly and possibly left a bit too much clearance. Will have to get my mate over to pull it out n check that the shims r still in one piece.........

Dunno about the tyre was the only half bad one on the car when i bought it theyve all been replaced once just the rear drivers was by about 3 months the 1st to be changed.

Not many have been done the strip.
I've noticed mine is pretty s**t off the line, maybe even slower then stock (auto, 3.45), but picks up alot once it gets moving.
It's happier in real world driving.
Much beefier mid and top end.
I'll have a fresh motor, one day, so that'll give a better judge of it too.
Most of the RPD cams that have been down the strip are in autos as well...
Have any manuals run down the 1/4 yet???
