Since the last update the car has been finalised for now, both on the rollers and prepped for drag racing. For the first time ever I had a healthy enough engine to complete a map all the way to full revs but to keep it good I had the boost wound down a bit from what it was at in the CA to keep things safe.

That 304whp was made at 18psi.

 

After a month of tweaking things and buying the last bits and bobs we landed at shakespeare county last weekend for the old ford championship. As this was the first outing to the track on five years I was only aiming to get to the end, times weren't a huge concern :wack:

 

First run was using all road tyres and after one gear change I could smell the clutch and feel it starting to slip. Managed a 13.6 though and it didn't get any slower all day :) mid track things were getting scary so I quickly changed to my favourite purchase :)

These made an instant difference and the car managed a 12 second pass with no nos for the first time ever :) and the 60ft came down from my personal best by 0.2, I think a healthy clutch would have improved it even more.

We then used the gas, and although a 12.5 was managed, I blew every single hose off of my inlet, even the rubber seals out of my injectors :cry: the revs went though the roof and when it was put back together there is a top end rattle. End of weekend! Got some good races though :)
