Also reduce boost a bit, and maybe go up a cog on gearing for more top end.
Depending on track, you could maybe loose boost and add turbo timing for straight, delayed on full throttle for that extra down straight?

Just find the balance. TBH, 50% boost seems too much to me, but I don't run speed passion, and I tend to use Turbo rather than boost. Boost doesn't suit my driving.
Yes I'm running a fan :-)
Could drop a cog but I'm wary of keeping in the guide lines set by Schumacher that the sum of the spur and pinion should be between 100 and 108 (think that's right) I run a 76 spur and a 24 pinion at the moment.

It was running fine with all the higher settings until last week, the only thing that's changed recently is the club has new Astro. The car has been running ok for about six weeks before that.

I think boost and turbo might be the same thing. It only activates on the main straight any way :-)

Looks like I just need to find the balance :-)

Thanks for the help
