Yeah - it makes a big difference and at the moment we dont have it dialled in so that you can get right up on the converter and let it go. It is a bit of hoping for the best at the moment but we made some real inroads into how best to coordinate the AMS and gas on the transbrake to get it going more consistently. Unfortunately we ran out of passes and Jambo isnt really the place to do testing either.....

We could fit a 28 x 11.5 - I know thats what the PETMOD citric falcon runs. We were racing in modified compact so the tyre size wasnt a restriction. It is a nice comfy fit with the 10.5's though. We could try the 29.5 x 10.5W tyres with the thicker side wall (which is what our 28's are).

Or conversely we can look at taking some weight out - which we will probably have to do anyways.

Still plenty of work to go. Its all good fun though. Atleast we have kept a straight car. A handful of guys had big issues with the walls up at Jambo - especially the Turbowerx VL which ran us in the first round and had a big impact. Here hoping it stays that way (touch wood)!
