I went up to Crail today for the first time in a year. I wasn't sure what to expect with this car only pulling 3 more HP (and the same WHP) on the rollers than my last one and this one having cams, AFPR and bigger exhaust.

My two bests were 15.23 @ 89.7mph (2.04 60ft) and a 15.29 @ 90.5mph (2.4 60ft).

This was on standard shocks, full interior, tyre pressures not played with, a boot full of shit including my camera bag, spare wheel etc, no cold air feed and the indicator still in. Weather was dry, cloudy with a 15mph head wind.

For reference, my previous car ran a 15.13 with the rear stripped, a wheel and tyre combo 2% smaller than what I have now, no spare wheel etc, no extra stuff, the glovebox emptied, coilovers set hardest at rear and softest at front, tyre pressures at 22psi, a cold air feed and the indicator removed for air flow and the clutch had been put in a week before so was brilliant.

So to summerise, I'm very happy with how it did today. I'm happy with how it's running and I know it'll do better if I wanted it to.
 
With strippage and some fettling with tyres, this will go into the 14's absolutely no doubt.

I'm REALLY fat too. lol.
