my first 24v cosworth swb transit did a 16.36, but i can't remember the speed, this was at santa pod, and at least 10 years ago, i think the later LWB did a 16.49 but i wouldn't swear by it, i know it wasn't a lot slower than the first SWB i built, it was timed by some mag at brunters, they logged me at 110 genuine top speed in the LWB

VERY suprised that Tim didn't beat me - must have been the problem getting the power down at the time (the typical drag racing problem!).

But there are now 2 x 2.5 Di engined vans that are quicker than the non cosworth V6s...

Correct me if I'm wrong, but are you saying that run last year was stock tune and you didn't adjust anything before or after that run for normal road use??? (Like mine).

In fact I think I was the only one who ran a 100% stock engine. I'm not bitter, I just resent people banging on about it as if they all had stock stuff too, that's all I get bitter about. I guess if Martyn gave mine a death tune to get up the 1/4 mile I could say I'm quicker ;)
