All the best with it Dave. I hope it does the 200mph; would be awesome in a road car.

P.S How does it feel having a television channel named after you?

I could biuld Daves engine this week, But I gave Dave the option of 2 diff compression ratio's 1 8-1 or the other 8.5-1 but I would only biuld the later after testing Rods at 8.5-1,
Dave agreed to wait as running the higher comp will have benafits but this would only be confirmed after testing Rods.
