You want to try it in a TD, I think paddle change would be a good mod as you hit the revs so quick. It's like as soon as you put it in gear you want the next.

Well you can always launch it in second if you dont worry about the clutch wear

or !st to get it moving, second to get to some speed and then as you change to third see the petrols fly past :'(

Though hopefully now the head has come off the damage has been identified (huge amounts of overheating munched the HG - and with hopefully some headstuds, and a wire&grooved head i should be able to give a 0-60 time to give a few petrols a scare....

possibly late 6's to early 7's

mattie007 is just really nicemattie007 is just really nicemattie007 is just really nicemattie007 is just really nicemattie007 is just really nice
I love my 120, just a shame the engines are so fragile.
If I could afford to run a 180, I would, but Im more than happy with just 120 horses!

I think I'll stick to the rolling starts and not worry about the 0-60 time. What caused the overheating?
