Cheers guys, no idea on power only street tuned. Going by its weight of 3150lbs and MPH its making just on 600hp at the flywheel so I'd guess around 530rwhp. Lol the tyres still had 35psi in them, it barley sounds like I change gears in the video as 1-2 shift was at around 5000rpm to stop it spinning when it came on. Cheers

It "seems" ok at the moment. Its just got a 6al and bosch coil with 0.019" spark plug gap. It is fairly lean I think, not 100% sure as of no AFR gauge but just going by the plugs, but its also hard to say with that amount of water cleaning the plugs lol. If I richen it up abit it doesn't miss like insuffiecient spark but is just no as crisp on boost. Ive even ran straight water at 1300cc without misfire but can run more timing with a mix ( 7.75:1 compression, 32psi, 17deg timing ) Cheers
