No idea on power as it not been RR, only 1680 miles on this build so she is still tight, expecting 200 bhp +


As far as The Pod goes ill deffo be there, last year was a blast, 15.3 in my sport last time, hoping to be quicker this year and maybe surprise a few people.
9.5k miles on this lump now, made 225.6 bhp on the last dyno run.

MS, wasted spark and M30 injectors fitted now, rolling road mapping session soon should see more ponies :D

102hp when it was brand new, now 18 years later...................10.2hp!! (If i'm lucky!!)

Seriously though, it's not enough but if it was anymore powerful I think I'd end up killing myself!
