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.
