Great figures for the engine, I'd say nearly up there with the engine Danny did, which was over 600whp...

Though he never really took it to many events sadly.

Be great to see what times this new lump of yours can smash out.

Only another 2mph so I would think he will struggle to keep it under 150mph

Agree with Specky on that one, no point comparing on different dynos.

Speckys certainly seems to be a lot quicker and I dont see that its much lighter (or possibly even it might actually be heavier), so seems a reasonable assumption to me that it has more power.
