thanks every one, done a 9.7 off the trailer then 9.6 then 9.4@148 then it rained! all ive done is run boost through autronic, and wind it up a touch, still had a few little bugs it was braking down through the speed traps, when i tried to boost it harder of the line it would launch then just break traction, really need to put it on a chassis dyno now, went to heathcoate on the way home cos my mate didnt get 1 run at calder before it rained, i want going to race but i checked it over and i was like why not! managed a 9.5 and almost got my 150mph which was my goal for the weekend it ran 149.55mph lol it actually launched better at heathcoate to my supprise all on my last run so it was pretty heat soaked after 5 passes with no rest lol time to put the water to air on now and go from there,

worked it all out today, i need to change my diff gears as it was hitting the soft limiter at the end of the track, and i was a bit out of my rev range! so i need some new diff gears, then fine tune the boost controller put the w2a on and leave it in the shed for 4 or 5 months lol,
