hi
Great day, all went well & Mark played mega safe almost 10deg less ignition this time, we reached the limit of the ports/ex cam much as Mark
predicted & it was over 800bhp @ 6k & still over @ 8K . Peaked at 838.4 @ 7.5k it was out of puff.
The smaller turbo was still making power at 7.5k.
The big beastie was supplied with a full race exhaust housing that proved to be too tall & the turbo hit the head so game over.
600ft/lb from 4850 to 7350 should prove interesting.
Im calling it quits at this point, ive done my bit, but an easy 900bhp in there with larger ports & a different exhaust cam.
Will try the new turbo on the rolling road should spool quicker but it looks like the limit on 109 & conservative ignition.
Cheers Rod
ps. Chip has the graphs & i believe he will post them.

Christ on a bike that's incredible!! Congratulations to all involved.
What's the true limit then? if more could be had with more headwork and a bigger/different cam, is 1000 bhp achieveable?
Anyways, well done, and i hope you see the top speed you are after.

For those who have asked im in no rush to run the car at the mo, Its in for a cage next week , then engine in & then Deano is going to do the Brakes & sort out all the bits you cant see under the car. I suggest it may go on the RR for a nitrous run in say late Febuary & then have a crack at that Topspeed record. Both my son & I will have a go to beat the 206, ive got to beat the young wipper snapper & then the keys will be given to a pro driver whos interested in having a crack to see what the old girl will do & then hopefully I can step away from this mayhem, but it will be hard cos i still enjoy it.
During the Dyno session i had a look round at guys im happy to call mates as diverse as Cyril (500bhp escort) aged 64 & in really smart clothes & next to him JB looking like a gangsta rap star, im proud to be mates with both along with Rich & the others that came.
cheers Rod

Rich: thanks for asking if i could come along
Rod: thanks for saying yes
Chip: nice to meet you mate
Mark: thanks for answering all of my questions whilst you were busy in the dyno room! lol roll on the 4g64 lump next year!!

I wasnt involved in any way at all other than watching mate, all the success with this engine is purely a result of Mark's hard work and knowledge and expereince, and of course allowed by Rod's continued commitment to sticking with Mark and giving him free reign with his engine.
