Has Simon done a mission impossible raid on Paul's garage? I run a supercharger and I don't care the TB is on the wrong side.

https://youtu.be/8Vk8oBPmjsc This is very interesting as i was watching the last 5 or so runs of your 26,000 runs.. and it was frustrating watching any kind of wheelspin with fingers crossed for a new pb! Seeing this vid shows a different animal to what i was watching! That launch looked instant!!! I wish i could hear your start over the other minis noise to analyse it On 24th Oct, 2015 jonny f said:

As it seems to have been the swan song for the car in this configuration where did you end up as far as weight and power for your PB 13 / 115 runs

This was yesterdays work, I had to end early as I had to go and see a man about a dog. It was a full car at 09.24 
then this fell out 
then it was a shell by 15.43 so not bad as it just seemed to fight all the way. 
then I started the stripping the stone chip and to see if i really have two boot floors, I found 3 colours in there,

I looked at dipping and I found very mixed reviews on it, then blasting I did not I want to take the risk, I know I am most likely being a fanny, but I have some very high power paint stripper here it lifts the paint right off in 30 mins,, so I plan to do the hole shell by the end of the week so then I have some control over it, and I am not really relaying on anyone.

i would definitely have blasted it for the time saving , what the worst you could find , car lightening holes ? Medusa + injection = too much torque for the dyno ..https://youtu.be/qg5o0_tJxYM |

I know what your saying about time saved, but it would be a lot more of a ball beaker for me, as i am back to work on the 30th and then going away on the 12th again, so I am happy to put the hrs in on gettting it sorted my self before I go and also saving the £800 min for blasting and £1400 min for dipping.
