Hes not.said exactly what he wants it running at but i get the impression he dont want you run much i think.one run at 20 at your own risk would be enough.

Re: staffs/cheshire new year meet/rolling road day
pulled my finger out tonight, made time to drill my 2nd stage. drilled it to 1.2 rest of my carb is std, it was too rich so had to keep upping the boost, its at 12.2ish at 19psi, so im happy with that. couldnt believe the difference..... wish i'd done this several years ago lol. i couldnt accelerate for very long, so didnt do any 4th gear pulls but i dont drive that fast anyway, 1st 2nd 3rd will do me :D
Think ill lay off the accelerator untill ive been on the rr let him check its not detting.

Re: staffs/cheshire new year meet/rolling road day
was a really good day guys, was gutted i had nothing to run, but enjoy the social aspect and seeing some 5's the weather was awesome aswell which always helps.
A good call to the organisers and also the geezers at the rollers for putting up with us... even going through the trouble of modifying the hub adapters to fit the 5s..
