not sure, if you email the manufacturer, they can tell you their recommended gap size.

Just put her on weigh bridge 1040kg (approx 20kilos of fuel) + 140 for me and passenger on track = 1180 kilos

0-60 mph is me and car so that will be just shy 1105 less some fuel about 15kilos after track sesion. = 1090 kg

Aiming for 8.5 sec 0-60 depending on wind but will be happy with sub 9 secs off course got to get launch right :)

running around 104bhp per ton on track and 112bhp per ton on strip

top speed 125 on slight incline but Hit 135 on speedoe before bootled it due to looming bend
