I'm not questioning that there's clearly loads of development work gone into it, and it's a very impressive lump, but I've always been under the impression that even on a normally aspriated full race engine with £££££££££££s of development work, over 100lb/ft per litre is simply not going to happen.
doubtless the fuel will be playing no small part in that, I used to run a 2.4 that made 100lb/ft per litre on optimax + millers, so if its on proper fuel its not beyond the realms of possibility.
