It should be entirely different now, at least on the launch and possibly at the shifts.
YEP!
Its different now
I only got one proper pass in due to lots of other issues. When I eventually got to the front of the queue for this run I had been in the queue for over 2 hours in the hot sun. I was busy with the other car at this time so when it was my turn i didnt check the tyres. Drivers side rear had heated up by 3psi to 15psi. So it didnt dig in and grip like the other rear tyre. So when the front went light she tried to push the front of the car to the right. It wasnt a big drama but it did take me by surprise. I also had what sounded like a misfire at the top of 1st and 2nd gears which cleared in 3rd gear?
Then I realised that in 3rd gear I wasnt reaching 6000rpm when the misfire appeared in 1st and 2nd.
But she still reeled in a 9.8 even though the mph was slow. Back in the pits I found that the rubber cap on the brake servo tapping on the carb had split and was leaking air
Just before the run the engine was idling with a hunting in the revs. This indicates and air leak as I've had this before when the carb bolts were loose.
I'm happy with the 9.8 to be honest.
I've fixed the leaky rubber cap and will be out next Sunday for another go at the 9.79 pass
