Official results are in and measured speed was only 199.7 km/h :/. I wish I knew that yesterday so I would have driven second run.

I took off in second gear and it was not the perfect start. I have been told that it does not matter much to the top speed on a mile how you lauch off from the line. First gear is so short that in testing second gear have worked better as there turbo is not able to get boost properly up on first gear.

100 hp is max estimation on current injectors. Propably closer to 95.
