Interestingly I retested mine today and with a passenger, stock intercooler, airfilter and manifold. Only 17% pulley and new almost run in pistons as the only mods im now down to 6.5 secs I do put this down to a tight engine and 2psi loss of boost especially at lower revs.

I did 3 time attempts and got

1) 6.1 seconds
2) 6.4 seconds but it was an uphill gradiant!
3) 6.1 seconds

May be able to get a better time if i tried a few more but 6.1 will do for now!

So it looks like a facelift box makes a huge difference, makes it a bit bias. I suppose on an early box you'd just use 2nd right?

You can do 'power runs' with it and it'll work out what bhp you have... the PB logs data to an sd card then I slap it in the lap top and use the PB software to analyse it.

Digimoto for logging or a few freeware tools for active monitoring to see boost, timing and IAT temps.
