What has Rod tried I may know more than most what he tried to do .
In 2004 i asked Mark to build a 600bhp road engine it made 613bhp on pump fuel it ran untill it cracked a Block in 2006 running a 300shot of Nitrous.
I then asked for a 800bhp road engine. The race fuel head gasket problem took 2 years to solve but been OK since 2008 . It was the first & probably still the only YB to make 800bhp on road fuel, it has not yet done a gasket on pump fuel or cracked a block .
Its rather pointless comparing my baby with a Methanol drag engine , my ports are too small, the cams not wild enough & my Turbo small compared to the 45 on that drag engine. One will be great at 8secs passes on 100% WOT the other will take 40secs at 100% WOT .

My aim since i retired from setting RS Topspeed records, is to help others who are interested in that discipline. Its time for the next crop of record setters to emerge im older than Mike R's hairstyle & have had my day.
Im involved with several 2013 attempts one with a rival Tuner, lets hope Sheady dont find out who .
