    Avon Park march 18th or 19th.

    I know there is a few things flying around about this!
    Is it time to set an official date and list?
    It feels an age since I last made a 1/4mile event April last year, Im hoping to break 15 and get 14.5 or better.

    It doesn't matter how much power you have, to be the fastest you have to race! So far, the fastest 850 T5 in the UK is Spesh's car.

    i would like to see some times for comparison against mine.

    mine is also knocking on 300bhp by the way, with another 250 ready on tap , but i doubt i'd have any engine left if i used the full potential of the nos kit
    at the moment!!!

    thanks adam, totally agree with you and so far i am the fastest t4 !

    As far as i know he hasn't proved it, but only did a RR which came out at 304 whp, not bad for a 4 cyl 1.8 lol, he is now in the process of ditching the 19t and going over to Garrett, all will be revealed in March at Avon Park

    Gary , a bigger turbo aint gonna help........ lol

    only kidding.

    i have never been a fan of the 19t route for a t4 as it only a standard turbo
    still. a hybrid which is samller will always perform better. i have spoken to turbo technics already and they have fitted one to a t4 ...........

    I take it this car has forged rods/pistons then? as I am still trying to find a reasonable cost route, and have had widly different cost quotes for them!
