Updated my performance figures in my sig.
Thought it was time to stop kidding myself! Sold the cylinder head and the cams and have lost about 20-25bhp.

Still, I think a 15.849 1/4 mile with 140-145bhp is still good!

I don't know, I was too busy trying to brake from 288mph down the High Street to work out torque figures, those two mods make my car go well fast!

and its torque not BHP you should be looking at for 1/4's
bhp comes into play for topend speed
Isn't BHP worked out from torque figures out of interest?
