Hi guys, Took the Gem to calder last night and ran a new PB of 9.82@138.6mph off the trailer followed by a 9.82@137.8. The engine is a 1.8ltr with a trimatic and a 7000 stall(with transbrake) and a 24.5x8x15 M&H slick.Engine power is up near 500hp,and im hoping to make the switch from C16 to methanol real soon. Heres a vid of the 2nd run,filmed by Simon(FREAKNU RX7). Thanks, Darren http://media.putfile.com/9_82_137_8 (10mb)

its a 1.8ltr with the help of c16 and nos,love the fact you have a 7000rpm stall. tremedous effort with the set up dude,that puts you in number 2 spot,i think with the mph and the help of methanol a mid 9 is not too far away....good luck.
