I shall scan all pages and provide all necesary translation but the data will be easilly read by anyone, its just numbers after all. Turning data to american units will be a challenge though!<br><br>

With the Perfomance Magazine tests coming up, today we did all sort of adjustments. I for my first time, at last, drove Sh4rk with NOS on! What can I say to describe it? I really dont know..... its a feeling-experience you have to live to be able to understand it...<br><br>Thw feeling at 0.9bar with 75hp NOS is like running at 1.5bar with no NOS. I am really scared to figure out how its gonna feel like driving at 1.5Bar with NOS on!<br><br>One advantage you gain with the use of NOS is that because it is set to activate at 3400RPM till 6800RPM, you eliminate any possible Lag due to the bigger turbine. Even from stand still acceleration at first gear, if you are slow on swifting you dont feel any lag at all!<br><br>I ll try to picture it for you through the various videos I am shooting these days.<br><br>Bottom line is that the grim on face is over my hair! I just dont wanna get out of Sh4rk.<br><br><br>A very very very happy Costas!<br>
