If I would have more??? Power? Of course :)

I made 109@6950rpm/121Nm at 4000ish..., maxing out at 7500.
I know some of my competitors run a Swifty SW23 and make peak power at 500rpm more. Might be down to head and cam timing, but I do like the STR930.

Peak power at 500rpm? What is it a diesel engine?

You look pretty competitive. Interested to see what you can do starting further up the grid.

Did you lap that blue volvo??

Yes, but that's a rally car, so not really competitive. Next year the NSU TTs are going to pay *wink*
The car infront of me that I almost cought up was a Volvo 142.

I'm changing the drop gears (1:1.08)this winter and changing the STR930 for a SW22. This along with some weight saving should make it a bit faster.
