I think I may have found the problem, TPS was u/s. Fitted another tps & backfire appears to be gone. The car went to the 6 Bangers at Warwick Dragway QLD. last weekend & went well. It consistantly run 7.45@90 odd mph with a best of 7.44, 7.70 was the previous best 1/8th mile times that the car has run.

The car has lost a couple of kgs, he has removed all glass & replaced with lexan, plus removed any thing else that wasn't needed as well as plying around with the tune, but yes a big improvement.
