your 330ft is 0.178 slower
His wasnt running right on the night

your 660ft is 0.040 slower (You actually caucht up a fraction!!!)(peak power would have been a little down)
His wasnt running right on the night
between there and 1000ft the gap extends to 0.286!!!
He would of been on Cam so to speak

and ultimately a 1/4 thats 0.316 slower than Marcus

This points clearly at the upper rpm and a posible gear change delay thats much more than Marcus's. If you got a better 60 ft ie. a 2.1 (stall) tightened up the shifts a lil you'd dip well into the 14's.
Marcus's car was less than happy that night but it's still a good indication of your problem being divided and not just the torque reduction. You lost almost no time to him until after 660ft. Your MPH at these intervals helps to support this.
I thought of this when i saw the video of yours and Marcus's run.
Comments?
Hard to compare a internally stock engine to one with a bigger cam etc even if the power figures are similar as they both make power in different rpm bands.

Falkeen this guys the reason i havent got the kit yet mate he is convincing me to go the cam lol :p
