Hi Ian

DEPRESSED

You just can't compare dynos. It came out at 346bhp with 16 bhp of losses however the car has been transformed and I'd now recommend a choke per cylinder over any 4-barrel. I can now go down to 800 rpm in 5th and she'll still pull cleanly away

. With either the Edelbrock or Holley this was stall or kangaroo territory.

Goodwood was sh1te. The weather combined with an oil leak and a damp misfire meant I only ran one practise lap and went home at lunchtime wetter, colder, poorer (£15 for two egg&bacon baps and the worst coffee this side of British Home Stores) and wiser.

The monsoon weather allied with massive standing water on the track meant that a racing line was more like a 100mph plus autotest.
