Default NEARLY READY TO DYNO.....

As above, just a couple of little things left to iron out. Been a long journey since it broke last november. Wrong pistons sent from USA twice promotion at work so little spare time Mark moving and getting too much work major eye oporation (loads of stiches in the eye ball)

We've changed a few things since last year. Different cams again, Swedish plenum, SM4, hoping for around 600 brake on pump fuel, maybe 630 on race, plus something else!!! Should be getting close to the 200mph mark now eh Rod?

Blimey Ade mine aint started yet so if your cutting it fine I have no chance must admit im not really bothered. Should be a 200mph car Ade if your gearing is close enough. Best of luck
Cheers Rod

Maybe!

No guarentees in that game, especially with "only" 600bhp


I personally would bet against it, but if Rod says it will do it, then i guess it probably will!

...wont do 200mph imo...if you do it would mean braking so late it will be give or take on life!....So actually Mark will probably get it to 200mph

Well you wont know how fast it is on a RR mate, bring it to Brunters & you will find out just how tame it is, you can talk but not run with the big boys it seems.
