Test drive on Interstate access road (one way road ,1 mile long ) 1st / 2nd / 3rd /4th gear at 6700 rpm with 24" tall rear tire , MG Midget rear end w/ 4:23 ratio , 6 pounds boost . Calculates to 113 mph , very exciting !! Engine easily revs 7000 + , so more available , larger rear tires (29") means even more . water / meth injection in inlet manifold had air temp going in of 67 degrees . Red line going into Blue intake , little red plastic line middle of pic . STEVE

A most impressive piece of engineering. Do you have pictures of the complete car? They would be interesting to see.

It has the look of a lakes racer about it, it would be great to make it look stock and have some fun with a Porsche or two!

Has anyone changed cam bearings (bushings) to needle bearings in 3 main crankcase ?? The ends are fairly simple , but the center seems a challenge .. I am working on this now , will know soon if it works .. I know of the earlier cases with needles , actually the size of rollers , this is different ..
