Has anyone ever seen this on the quarter mile?
Speaking to the bloke and he says that it done a 11.3 1/4 mile at 137mph on road tyres. On the rollers it reached 520bhp at the fly. Didn't know they have managed to get it that high, I know you take it with a pinch of salt but even if you reduce 50bhp off that, its still crazy. From what he was saying as well was still running a standard crank. Are these engines that tunable to that sort of power and will take it that well.
