Have you tried putting some weight in the front? I put the brass bulk head and pin brace in and it stopped it from pulling a wheelie...it was just too punchy when trying to get around the technical parts of the track.
It might be better on a larger track so the turbo/boost/timing really get a chance to do their thing, but for the smaller more technical track at Mendip, it was just too much.
Personally, I like having as much power as possible at my finger tips, but the wiser and more experienced guys at the track were right when they told me it would be too much.
I took it off and knocked my average lap time down by 2 seconds! Less power (apparently)= More speed! Who would have thought!?!
