Congrats to Alski and Damo

Outstanding results from your cars and combinations.

Its defintley the most we've seen from a stock head / stock manifold combo, the question remaining is why, So if you would both like to pop back so we can strip your cars down in the name of reserch

Its hard to explain to people the low and highs off drag racing but I think a lot off people now know what emotions you go through and how important a piece off paper and some numbers are

I was surprised at what Damo's got on the RR. Cos he hasn't even got a re-map. But, it just goes to show that some are quick cars from the factory & I think it helps with the kind of driving that the car is doing and even the driving style may even help!

I was surprised but not that surprised to be honest. I believe the owners were more surprised and just shows how sometimes you can make very good horsepower with a stock head.

Alskii needs to work on his power below 3500rpm otherwise he'll get his ass kicked by a BRG Mini if there ever is a race invented which sets a limit to 3500rpm

Thanks

A few people doubted my text They know who they are!

As on MINI Addiction:

207 whp and 238 at the fly.

Mods:
17% Reduction Alta V2 Pulley £105 + belt (£20)
NGK Iridium Spark Plugs £40
380cc JCW Injectors £150 (second hand)
GRS Intercooler £300 (Group Buy in 2005)
Alta CAI (£100 second hand)
PlayMINI Cat back (£100 second hand)
optimised Bypass Valve (£0)
Standard ECU
Standard Head
Standard Manifold

Fuel: Tesco 99 with no additives. (£50)

Only thing got me thinking was we had the same whp but his drivetrain loss was more Can't be the wheels as his where lighter than mine!

Coilovers then full Miltek System me thinks!

Oh yeah, forgot to say who 'tuned' my car...

...well the GRS badges only lack the "Motorsport" part

Don't know whether to thank Graham or give him commiserations. Going to alter my other post to add the cost of my mods.
