Picked most of the bits up from Vibration Free. The Harmonic balancer is still awaiting a Black finish & will be available tomorrow & be sent straight to MAD. The Pistons are 2 weeks away althought its fairly clear a cock-up meant the order got lost & its now post haste.

Spent part of the morning going through what we are trying to achieve with Mark & his ideas on what can be achieved. Basically three things.

1. My road engine on V-Power on a 9180. Will be around the figures achieved by the EVO recently so 800/820 on pump & circa 2.8bar.

2. Topspeed engine on E85 (probably) on the 9180. Should bump those figures up by 50/60 bhp but 3.0bar will be used to try & crack 900bhp.
This with maybe a splash of gas will be used to attack 215mph.

3. Dyno Queen engine run on E85. The last engine made 838bhp/666ft-lb & the new engine will have, Larger Ports, Wilder exhaust cam & a Turbo upgrade to the GTX version. Should increase Power to circa 870/880bhp with similar Torque. The aim is then to increase Boost to stop the Torque falling away after peak Torque & hence keep Power rising.
The Maths say if 666ft-lb is held to 8K the engine will be producing 1014bhp & if its held to 8.5K then 1078bhp will be produced.
Those are facts all we have to do is hold that Torque .

If we use a rule of thumb of 1.5bhp per .1 bar boost increase then it will take 1bar of extra boost to make 150bhp add that to 870 & you have 1020bhp. So 3.8bar ( 55psi) is the aim & that should see over 1000bhp.
Its a cunning plan & it will happen if it holds together & the lower part of the graph will be similar to my present engine so massive Torque low down.
