at the moment still finishing the duel lockoffs and dual converters hoping for more power

best time sofar is a sad 14.1@107mph  that was before i fitted the nitrous

got around 7 runs in at heathcote  and on everty run had issues  from intercooler hoses popping off, throttle sticking open, melting hoses, melting acellerator cable

 aiming to get it back to the track again later this year
