Pretty embarrassing crossing the line in overdrive and at around 4500rpm. Got it sorted now and making 320kw so next time out should crack into the 10s pretty comfortably. ...

Im lucky mine was only a $100 fix. Thats why i dont wanna push or develop the car anymore. Car got retuned around easternats time, making the same power but on lower boost. Thrashed the crap outta it every day during easternats and it didnt miss a beat! Ben and the guys at Adicted did a fantastic job re-tuning and getting it to run 100%. Hopefully be back for good in December. Hows yours coming along? Would be good to see more LPG cars out!
