Perhaps Clarkson may make some use of it

I only have 415hp flywheel power which might be 350 at the wheels! So don't think I will be breaking his dyno.

I can't make it. My engine is still being assembled. Besides The 3000 mile drive across the pond will be tough.

Well after this force freshening up with a set of new pistons I thing it would break the dyno.

After I bent all 16 valves I found out when pulling it apart that they put pistons in my engine .070" short of the top of the deck. Not happy. I was lucky if I were running 8 to 1 compression ratio. And it was a beast then. I will be running 11 to 1 now. I could have put a supercharger on it if I would have known.

Count me in. I've never worried about what actual power my Sumo outputs so long as it sounded good (which I think it does) so will be an interesting experience.

If you guys were up for a trip to yorkshire i have a dyno dynamics rolling road which will hold 1200rwhp.

£50 per car, which is 3 power runs.
