I'll get flamed for saying this here....
It's a 2.0L Vauxhall XE. Puts out 270 bhp at around 8500 rpm. The car weighs something like 510 kg, so yes, scary fast 
Now I promise, I'm away to wash my mouth out with old diff oil or something.

Thanks david for the information, i will have a good look at whats on offer from you, im already running the paddle shift kit from pro shift
(electronic paddle shifter with electric solenoid on engine moving the lever) oppose the the air operated set up, The lauch control was my next step,
as i struggle to hold the revs on the start line at what seems to be anything other that total wheelspin off the line or stalling, then the flatshift
seemed a good option too, to help save gearbox life mainly to be honest and get some milliseconds...
My championship is fine with LC and more or less anything else lol

Now that sounds like fun!
I hope you're not going to try and cut corners on the ecu front. I watched someone up here suffer 2 wrecked 'bussas last year, largely
because the guy that built the car tried to control a turbo installation with a stock ecu and add on bits. It's a problem if your waste gate
sticks, and there's nothing watching for overboost to protect the engine. The car goes down the straight very fast. Once 
I'm sure you know it already, but it's always worth repeating that whilst blown bike engines can produce incredible power, they do need
looking after if they're not to turn into err... blown bike engines!.
