Coming from someone who has himself tried "something different from the norm" to me at least this can only be considered sound advice....

In addition to my last post, I would then suggest approaching Allan Warburton at DTA with a view to replacing the original pectal system - if this is possible.

Allan's systems are more straightforward and not expensive. This would give you more control with a local person to give advice and not have the extortionate cost of pectal servicing.

Was just watching a DVD yesterday of Shelsley Walsh 2005 when Martin Groves broke the record just ahead of Willem who was driving the car in question....correct?

Was the car running the same twin turbo setup in 2005 when Willem was driving it?

No, that was with the 4 litre Judd EV.

Look at his 0-64 ft times!

If you think those "64 foot" times were quick, I watched Willem at one of the last Shelsleys he competed in with the car and saw the most phenomenal start I've ever seen. If memory serves me correctly it was 1.65 secs. So the engine obviously has worked really well!!
