Day went without issue except that the tank kept pressurising with the heat from the exhaust..
we managed to get 252bhp at one point, but I opted for a more drivable torque and power curve a bit lower down the rev range so went for 240bhp and a staggering 183lb/ft which has made the car much more driveable on the road. Dave was very impressed with the torque delivery and suspected that with mor time we could get well into the 50s and keep the torque delivery... Nice!
