actually i sort of think that it may have been your mate, kent :lol: , who pm`d it to me, still searching, will post if i find.. yes, i was told by a number of blokes at bub`s , that thay appear to misbehave at speeds around and over 220mph, but larry forstall`s comment said a lot, he should know,, having said that, it is still interesting to see catalyst`s stuff at the pointy end, also says something :wink:, havent made a decision on which way to go yet, still doing my calculations on the ever elusive, pursuit of speed :roll: :D
