Yeah his mate owns it I think, 15 sec 1/4 mile for a 500bhp doesn't seem right?

also a qtr mile of 15.something is 20XE area (well I got a 15.1 at the pod). So I would assume its alot faster then that! I would love to see the spec and the RR print out!

Yes thats the one. I think the quarter times are a bit chineese whispers tbh. Like i said i didn't get chance to go over just what i was told.
Its fapping loud tho

The reason why he is having problems with the engine and 1/4 is the rev limiter was set to high so when he went to the top of the rev range it would move the solid lifter shim's causing the valves to stay open. So he could never give it load as he was always worried about hitting the limiter.
It is planned to go back for more mapping so should be putting some good times in soon.
I know for a FACT its over 500bhp.....

I almost told him he had flat tyres at the trax 0-60, until a marshall did and specky replied...'there meant to be like that, for the traction like' classic
