its a btr, shifts stiffened up in the tune,dont know how long it will last . I dont drive it that hard as im an old fart lol

ah dont tell me this!

so stock engine, just valve springs im assuming? I have 1000cc squirters, big in tank pump and full intake also. Looks like im gunna have to get plugs, cat and trans cooler and start pushing some fun power. ;) I really dont think these BA's are as bad as people make them out to be, its how you treat them. Of course things are going to brake if you load up a gearbox with low revs in a 2 tonne car with 550+nm of torque or kickdown hard!

how does she feel at 380 compared to say the 10psi tune? I rekon that's what mine is at @ the moment, im yet to put my boost/AFR in yet.

chalk and cheese mate feels a lot stronger now, also I would suggest a good tune to make it live as well + its on e85.

standard valve springs atm ,car has had an easy life . in saying that the car would be pushing 1000nm so if I go and put slicks on it I reckon it will hurt the box,time will tell .

Yeh it'll definitely need a retune anyway, I don't know how mine hasn't blown up yet the way it feels coming on boost so I tend not to give it any boost at the moment. I'm actually scared to see what my boost and AFR is gunna read haha.

I'm keen on E85 also, but not so available down in the gong yet so probably a nice 12-15psi 98 tune and then a better E85 tune when I'm close to a servo
