Hi Friendly, we could do that if we knew where the restrictions are. That is why we are working back from the pump, to establish what restrictions we can find.
The graphs don't show the real story, as there is not the heat input that a race situation would create. Tony is using his every day car, and can't expose it to too much abuse, it still has to cross the dessert reliably.

With the data that we are collecting, we can then try the modified components on the buggy, that can test them under race conditions.
A slow progress, but as Tony says " Rome wasn't built in a day", but then, he wasn't working on that job.
