Ade's ran 185.5mph with 520bhp in the rain.
Euan was claiming 580bhp so his speed is about right , all three cars had Power at the end of the straight.

This was Marks 1st big Torque engine back in 1999 he expected 500bhp but it did not make it so unsafe ignition was added to break 500bhp.
It was Dynoed same day as Bruces 541bhp .
It came runner up at TOTB ran a 11.8 @ 127mph quarter 0-100 8.1 & set a RWD Topspeed record so I guess Mark knew the direction to take his engines. More to an engine that outright Power & Mark has never looked back with this type of engine.
So from fiddling a dyno to the mapper adding unsafe ignition lol love your way with words rod.
Euans at 580 is incredible for a t4, hence my slight lean towards modified in some way but it wouldnt stop me being happy with whatever my t4 engine ran aslong as it was up there.
