Out of interest, did you redline or get out of first early? Also where did you buy your AC22 from as ive wanted one for ages...

On the 1st Run I got out of first early, knowing 2nd is the Mini's strongest gear (now my limiter has been increased due to the remap, I top out at 72mph in 2nd). The 2nd and 3rd Runs I redlined in first, changing right on the limiter (or as near as poss). My Mini is (luckily) just a weekend play thing, so I wasn't too concerned about doing any long-term damage 'nailing it'!!
Incidently, I find if you top out in first gear, there is less 'lag' in 2nd, as the S/C seems to be on the boil......... ???
