I'm shore there's been a few over here with over a 1000bhp lol but if the likes of Julian and mark can't do it on pump or race fuel to a usable and reliable standard I very much doubt its possible! Plus a lot of these cars seem to be out and out drag cars with power right up the rev range so I dare say in the real world on the road would be shit!

Look at the make up of that fuel and this will tell you everything,
Hg I have one in mind for the 1000+hp engine but other changes are needed to make it work and I decided not to use it on Rods.

Its not good stuff to use and you need to make other changes and double the size of your fuel supply.

i dont understand how a fuel can make a crank rods pistons etc stronger ,if a 800 hp engine brakes on pump fuel why is it stronger on methonal ,not being funny i just dont understand ,on the block geoff has done, he says he has done it like bdt ie fire rings and o rings round the rest ,would a recess in the head and a copper ring and the the liner protruding so it bites in the copper ring then o ring the rest so studs are just pulling down on a smaller area than trying to clamp the full surface of the head block the pressure on the rings will be a lot higher for the same torque then if on the full surface of the deck

Im sure then answer is pretty straight forward, but how comes WMI isn't more commonly used in the Ford scene?
I know the VW boys tend to run it on bigish power 1.8t's.
Most run Devil's Own
Just wondered why its not used here?

I've found that life I needed.. It's HERE!!

and also if it would last more than a couple of hours at that power
I've not even seen the car and tbh not interested i doubt any ground breaking development has been made
the proof is in the pudding lol

cant agree more i would like to see how much faster a that escort is compared to a 6-700 hp car built by the likes of julian/mark/harvey/whoever tbh

hi
i think in the mag it said it was doing 8 second quarters ,if you look at the feature it looks like it has a few things on it not done before

If it runs 8.3 1/4's then I would say its a LOT faster than anything they have all built, thing is IMO like Rods car its a one trick pony and very few people are interested in that sort of thing, you are never going to have that sort of power reliably in a road car, well not from a YB.

I'm fully aware of the performance figures which are VERY impressive. I'm far more impressed by cars like the AG Focus that can still put down incredible acceleration times and be one of the fastest things round a circuit.
If I wanted a very fast road car I would just buy a Porsche turbo and have it remapped.

Happily retired
What has Rod tried I may know more than most what he tried to do .
In 2004 i asked Mark to build a 600bhp road engine it made 613bhp on pump fuel it ran untill it cracked a Block in 2006 running a 300shot of Nitrous.
I then asked for a 800bhp road engine. The race fuel head gasket problem took 2 years to solve but been OK since 2008 . It was the first & probably still the only YB to make 800bhp on road fuel, it has not yet done a gasket on pump fuel or cracked a block .
Its rather pointless comparing my baby with a Methanol drag engine , my ports are too small, the cams not wild enough & my Turbo small compared to the 45 on that drag engine. One will be great at 8secs passes on 100% WOT the other will take 40secs at 100% WOT .
My aim since i retired from setting RS Topspeed records, is to help others who are interested in that discipline. Its time for the next crop of record setters to emerge im older than Mike R's hairstyle & have had my day.
Im involved with several 2013 attempts one with a rival Tuner, lets hope Sheady dont find out who .

Was the 4 years since 2008 sat in the garage gathering dust a tough enough test though? I've got no idea how you can say any incarnation of your car in recent years is everyday reliable as according to your posts its always laid up waiting for parts

me and a few mates found this out at the pod a few years ago.. watched this nitro car go up the strip from the vip balcony,felt shit/dissy for a while lol the drivers wife was up there with us and said it was the nitro!
