Also, there is a difference between when Harvey grabs each line of data and when I took that picture...
As Porkie said, at the time we bottled it at 7500rpm, but at 8,000rpm it would have been making more.
To quote Harvey (as best I remember) on the day after we asked him whether we should stop or carry on "over 600bhp on pump fuel is kind of taking the piss!"
Got to remember that was well over 4 years ago!
