I think he has a gt3040 twisted set up. Probably takes longer as it a 2.0l.
Daz, is your engine block strengthend in any way? Im getting a 2.5 build and would like to know if 500hp is safe. I have been told 480hp is about the limit for the ej257 block

Well my team of race engineers and I thought they were the correct tyre choice. It was a gamble that paid off and led to the class win.
3 year old Triangle Talons on the front and 2 day old Enduro Runways on the rear
