Low 13's you looking for with that spec? Or think you'll muster high 12's?

Been before, don't like it too much. The track isn't really very exciting in my opinion.

Well I know that Al over on the Seat Cupra forums was pushing high 12's with his Cupra which was producing similar power. He did have track tyres though and stripped quite a bit out of his car.

The fastest I've managed with a stage 1 remap (circa 260-270hp) is a 13.6 with the spare wheel removed and on Michelin Pilot Sports.

If you're on manual then I'd expect low 13's unless you're going the whole hog with weight reduction and slicks.

But supposedly the better surface at Santa Pod results in slightly faster times than our gravel road at Crail... hmm... coming down to the pod is getting more tempting... :undecided:

There are a few guys in the states with similar mods and are down in the low 12's.  I really got to see what I run so I know lol.

Low 12's with that amount of power through front wheels seems very low.  Still, the run will soon prove me wrong no doubt.
