I've seen rings gapped a different way to that, but I'll trust your method over the alternatives...

Rob, I'm starting to think that chasing good laptimes isn't important,

What we should be doing is trying to get flames to come out the exhaust when we back off - How cool would that be......

Mick,
I've read your thread and I can see that your times are going backwards.

I am also aware of your attraction to "bling" as you have collected a few shiney trophies.

If you feel the need to add a "light show" to your act, that's fine by me too.

But.......
I remember Bathurst '72 where the "underdog" wins.

Actually, BANG! was mentioned last night at the engine builder's.
It's the same internals as it's always been but getting more grunt so BANG! is a possibility.

Talk is cheap.....

Much cheaper than building engines.

Very true. Unfortunately talk is also cheaper than cars in general.

My ego isn't under threat here. I don't have one. (See pics of Bombadoor) It's rather a calculated risk assessment. Hence, the "out" clause.

It's the same internals as it's always been but getting more grunt so BANG! is a possibility.

for all the hype, this better be bloody worth it in the end! :blink:

I hear that rodomo has procured an ebay special electronic supercharger and is hoping for it to work in series with the leaf blower he has hooked to the intake... :tease:
