Thanks man. I reckon in the heat I can get it down to 12.2 maybe 12.0 at a prepared Tarlton and probably a high eleven in winter but I am not keen to wait and see. Keep in mind that I have never cooled my car down with neither water or ice at the track. Its always in the condition you would find it if you met it at the robots and always with half a tank of fuel.

Thanks man, My exits improved again and on the 12.308 run I exited 189 track reading and 189.8 on the vbox. So in theory from August to now my exits kept getting higher as my power did but I have hit a traction and driver barrier hehe as I am making foolish mistakes, and waiting 1 hour for each run this time due to the cues did not help.
I exited 248 on the km and ran 12.5@189 on runflats on that run. There was a serious headwind this time round and again due to the cues could not time the run, to make matters worse when I got to line up they decided to let the other cars come back hehe
I was very happy overall because I have maintained my times from winter to summer which means I have moved in the right direction tuning wise.

The only fueling options we have at this point is meth/racefuel and fuel enrichment. We still some months away before we see upgraded fuel pumps/systems...but it seems with upgraded turbos we can run 20psi on the stock pumps easily...and with a dry shot nitrous and racefuel we can up the game with a .55hp nozzle also on stock fueling...i am currently waiting for an update from a US buddy who is running with an even larger jet...:wave:... 2011 will bring plenty of options.:thumbsup:

The install is nearly complete. Just need to get downpipes on again.
I am not planning to upgrade the fuel system. Do not think its necessary with flash tuning up until the stock Map sensors is maxed out which is at 1.5. At that boost the car will have to run race fuel perminently so it defeats the purpose of the car.

My aim is to hit 330wkw with a straight line which should be done at around 1.2bar. I am obviously going to run more boost on race days.
I reckon RB is the way to go due to the new waist gate assemblies. I cannot imagine anything worse than buying a upgraded set and then having the rattle a few thousand km later.
I would recommend the RB route for the few pennies more. The bigger wheels and shaft are no comparison to the ones that they have changed the compressor and cut back the exhaust housing.
