    IMHO i think you will break it just by what you've done, your car was set up very well and you have just improved enough to get very close while i will take most of the summer to get mine right

    i think you will need a fair bit more power to get a fwd volvo into the 12's mate, its not easy to get half a second more at the level your car is at now

    Forged block and T35.......how much bloody power do i need lol, ill have to back it off as it is to find max grip but thats the challenge RT has 591 bhp and does the 1/4 in 13.8 which is slower than Dean a few of us have the power to do it it's just getting the set-up right and doing it on the day
