Thanks so much for the kind feedback guys. It really is quite overwhelming.
Im delighted with how the car goes to be honest, but even more delighted that Simon said it was very good to tune and one of the best 2.5s hes mapped.
That means alot that people have appreciated the effort gone in to it, and maybe now i can enjoy some of the hard work.
Well... for aslong as i can afford shares in Shell Petrolium products

Worth the wait indeed. Just almost seems weird to me now that it's mapped and running etc. Don't get me wrong, I still have odds and sods to do with it. But does feel a little weird. Lol
Maybe I'm mental?

Do some work on the underside and more than likely cage it.

Here ya go lads, vid was taken on my iPhone, so not the best but you get the idea. This is a 576bhp dyno pull.
We actually had abort a run that was 581bhp and climbing as it was getting a bit too near the mark lol

a full cage can be a dangerous thing for a road car Frayz; half cage perhaps as a compromise?
