A few of us have provisionally booked the above, at £40 per car based on 10 attending. Could be less if there are 15-20 of us, but we need to finalize numbers by the end of next week please. Anyone interested, please let me know through this thread.

[QUOTE=t5frankie;541266]oh ok i thought you thought it had alot more, its harder to do autos on a dyno as well[/QUOTE] No, that's why I'd like to do it and see what she puts down and compare it to the others. Even thought it's got the BSR Stage 2 map and supposedly puts out 300'ish, I realise what's actually going down will be a fair bit less. She's not too well at the moment due to an oxygen sensor going, so my mpg is crap and I need to sort it quick.
