well went to usc this weekend to test out the new td04 setup, bearing in mind i ran a 14.4 @ 96 mph on the old 180bhp ct9 setup. well after a few runs best i could manage was a 14.2 @ 102mph which was dishearting as i now had an extra 50hp (now 230 lol) so fresh start on the sunday i pulled a 13.9 @ 104mph. i reckon i can shave of few 10ths but really need a quaife dif to help with the launches

also it maybe worth looking at some different tyres and suspension set up to gain some more grip when launching.

yeah, Neil that time can be improved but practice is the key....

First time round i couldnt get better then 13.8 and running consistent low 14's then went back few months later on my second go and managed a 13.2.... It al in the pratice.

he is just right mate, when i run my 13.7 @ 113mph i have no idea how much power i was runnin, was runnin 1.3 bar on a hybrid, (now runs 211bhp @ 1 bar) and i only got the car back the day before. I know for a fact that i could prob beat that time now even on lower boost cause i have got the hang of it. Its all in the practice.
If i do another one i will be tryin totally different ways of launching. The last time i found my quickest way was not usin all of first cause it spun too easily so i i boosted till it started spinnin then short shifted to second and i was able to get lower and more consistant times and 60ft's. I don't know what the td04 is like for lag but it is worth a try cause all you would do is get a slower time lol. Then try somethin else.

But again, practice makes perfect, in the right conditions obviously.
