According to the book its a toad alarm, I have tried the other fob and I had a battery charger on the battery for 12 hours in the hope it was that It was opening then when I was out it wouldn't lock and pressing the arm button just used to set the alarm off I just want someone to come and install a new alarm now but I can't find anyone who fits a decent alarm that calls out

Clive, you have 2 air feeds - where does the other one go to? Or is it simply a dual feed to the cone filter or something?

Okay few pics sorted now, arrived at Pauls at 9.30 and once coffee was sunk Paul set about sorting a little loom for my new age coil packs.




After lunch it was dyno time. Car instantly made power at low boost so things were looking up, few tweeks to the map on V Power + Meth and 640+ ! Not bad.





Then time for MaxNOS Car wanted to make stupid torque low down and Paul pulled no end of timing to limit it as much as possible low down but was still 580 ish @ 5k

Power wise it made 686 but right at the top end, something was not quite right. So Paul decided to alter the verniers to change things; slower spool but hopefully more top end. And run 1 after this and 727 !

Another run to fettle a little and 724, car was a lot hotter then limiting power a little but improving spool as you can see in graph.




So great result for a 35R we think

Just like to say thanks for all that have helped etc over the winter months; Friends/Sponsors etc.


Paul @ Zen
Mark @ Lateral (Ren made some room for your stickers today )
Alyn @ AS Performance (Yes yours are going on soon )
Scoobclinics continued support

And others - Tim Farmer, Frayz, Ren, Steven D, etc. and not forgetting - little Paul

Sorry if I missed anyone.

Wow at the power (and torque) figures! (Were you crapping yourself when being dyno'd? )

Big respect for Paul on knowing how to get the best from your setup for what is required down the strip.

Nice result Clive, looks like that housing will make no difference in spool to you as full boost is well below what you will always be at
