    Our latest dyno result from yesterday after the head swop due to 1 x slight bent Inlet valve on the JCW head, we now have the 2006 Hubie CNC stage 1 head on with the new 1320 G&S valves, it was the normal 00.45 am finish on Thursday

    We're at Santa Pod today and will do some testing today with the boost by gear, I'll let you know how we get on

    Our best run of the day was this one, we had a better run by a 1/10th at the 1/8th mile earlier in the day but the gear knob came off in Thomas hand and he missed the 3rd to 4th and still run a 10.8 at 104 :)

    We'll be adding some more boost tomorrow as we were at 26psi today hence the low mph of 131

    We're back in the game again thanks to out-standing service and turnaround from Cylinder Head Services who we use for certain jobs, we defintley had a bit of lady luck on our side as they had just taken an Aston Martin head off the machine as I rung, thus they could slot us in.

    So harder & bigger seats have been fitted.........so hopefully if the weather holds off and they're not to many oil downs we might get a couple runs in this evening

    The Barnes brothers have been watching drag racing since they were 7........., they've spent the last 5 years working on Blown Pro Mod cars.

    So when we did the turbo conversion it was with a lot of thought that we could at the worse case change a piston quickly.....I think they were averaging 15-20 mins to get the head off
