Got up early and made the trip up to Santa Pod yesterday and all was worth it I think. Didn't start off too well and I was thinking oh fuck! but all worked out in the end, just needed some practice. 
 
My times were: 
 
1.  16.04  @ 79mph 
2.  16.14  @ 88mph 
3.  15.54  @ 88mph 
4.  15.43  @ 89mph 
5.  15.31  @ 89mph 
6.  15.65  @ 88mph 
7.  15.22  @ 91mph 
 
So my fastest time being my last of the day. I fucked the start on all my runs some more than others obviously so am not too unhappy. Best of all I have discovered that the car standard is meant to run a 1/4 in 15.6secs so all of you that said an induction kit would slow it down was wrong as in this case it has knocked .4 seconds off the terminal.

i raced one of these yesterday at Crail. 
 
I got a 15.81 @ 87.4mph as my best run, and he was only maybe 2 car lengths ahead of me on the run i raced him, and i whooped him to 60mph. i bounced off the limiter in 2nd   
 
I would expect better for the engine/money TBH. 
 
i'll go get his times....

His best being 16.151 @ 85mph as you take the RT off the ET time at Crail. 
 
(we found this out by asking the stewards yesterday at crail)

Wasn't a bas estimate though was it vibs!    
 
I'm happy with my times. 14's shouldn't be a problem when I start on the engine.

I feel that if a standard VTR can get 15.7 then the timing gear is far from accurate
