Thing is, to make an engine strong enough for 350bhp, its not really strong enough then to take a 100 shot IMO.

Wire-rining is a little bit old school too, in my opinion.

My car is geared for 183mph and no its not straight cut. No-one makes a proper gearbox for the RST with ratios that will go fast enough for me (without having to rev it to 8500rpm!!)
Yeah they do, just costs big Ł's!!!

Trust me they weigh fuck all aswell

I cant remember the exact speeds, but didn't Paul J beat Sunny?

Either way, I imagine the non-CVH record will get raped soon with so many big Zetecs in the pipeline.

Oli's car runs a CTS stage 2+ box with quaife diff. (Although we have broken several this year!) We are still on std S2 ratios i.e. 3.82 final drive, and for the top speed run we ran on 16 inch wheels. This meant we had to rev to 7500rpm to achieve the 173.5mph top speed. As the engine cannot rev beyond this rpm for any sustained period, we will not be making any significant top speed improvement unless we change the final drive ratio.

We changed from the 1900cvh as it simply did not lend itself well to revving at 7500rpm! (Not to mention the old 1.9 engine was some 7 years old and was actually worn out)

building a zetec to achieve 200mph is not even an issue 720bhp will do it
keeping the car on the road thats the problem, the aerodyamics would need to be looked at i doubt weather a mk3/4 escort or mk3 fiesta could be made safe enough to do it... thats one of the reasons paul johnsons putting all is zetec gear into a puma..

ZVH Makes sense.

8v Bottom end with a 16v head would be a waste of time, surely?

Or shall i ask my grandma to help me?
