Thanks for posting these up. It's great to see new options for FI being worked on. I hoped you get the tuning aspects sorted soon! (Then again, that's the bear everyone is fighting with the turbo applications for this motor/ECU).

Thanks sorry for the dumb question lol. I did this run but car cuts out at 290kph. You will see as I hit 6th gear car stops accelerating. Will have to take that out. Useless if you can't hit 300kph........

what wheel/tyre setup are you running, interesting to note you get not 1 bit of wheelspin even with all that power!! i guess your super warm climate helps with traction, but damn that in itself is impressive!!

are you on slicks??

Sav has made power from top to reduce wheel spin. And I went smooth on the power otherwise I will sit spinning!

OMG!!!! That's one F** in quick car. Interesting you didn't get much wheel spin, which probably makes sense as most power will be at the top end...

Thanks for sharing with us...

Very impressed and surprised that you're not spinning through all of 3rd gear....
