Does anyone know how much power anyone has ever got out of an A series engine befor? And the state of tune it was in? I've heard of Turbochaged A series engines with 220BHP but has anyone ever got more than this? |

I witnessed his first 8 secind run at the Pod in 1978 ish. Saul Bellow - "A great deal of intelligence can be invested in ignorance when the need for illusion is deep."
