Just wondering is someone can sanity check this set up. I was running at Eastborne in the 13.5 support class this weekend in 1/10 touring cars, and I never seemed on the pace, a good 1.2 sec off per lap. A good lap was 13.5 sec. (OK, on the straights as well as the rest of the track )...

The track is fairly small, but I was getting done by the end of the straight after having a good few car lengths advantage at the start....

13.5 GM motor (fixed timing at whatever they fix it at)
Tekin RS Pro
FDR 5.25 (I was a tenth quicker with an FDR 5.48)
Temps 46-degC after 6 mins (started 28-30, pretty much the same with 5.48, it was 36 degC with FDR of 5.73)
I had a small heatsink and no fan

I haven' got a Hotwire yet (please send more to the UK) so couldn't get access to Boost.

Was I under geared? I went up one pinion through each of the rounds.
Am I suffering from everyone else having "boost".

Comments appreciated.

By the way, brakes were really good.

Very simple, you need either someone with a hotwire to sort your speedo up or to get yourself one.

Basically as standard the RS runs in dual mode which is less than ideal with spec motors where you REALLY want to run sensored only.

Once you get access to the hotwire set in sensored only and the timing boost to max it'll be like driving a different motor.
