As some of you will know from some of my posts over on the old
forum , My mate runs a v8 powered model 'T' replica at the drag
races ...
Over the last year or so it has undergone some subtle ;-)
changes including a new chassis AND new engine spec .
Following a problem with a valve a couple of weeks or so ago he
had the engine in bit's and i ended up giving him a lift to get
it back together again
So thought you might like a looks inside it ;-)

It's a 10.6 litre Big block chevvy blown and nitroused ....
1500 BHP with a whiff of nitrous and using c16 high octane AND
1500 foot pounds of torque in a car that weighs less than a
1000kg's including the pilot ...
plans are for it to go methanol next season AND it's street
legal :eek:

new valves (£80 a piece....and there are plenty of them ....16 )

Ooooo that makes me and MrsG want to get back racing again. Its
been a while since the 1996 world finals (Mrs G come 4th in
class) best reaction time of 0.652 of a second.
Just watch those blower belts, I remember seeing a crewman
loosing 3 fingers on one :eek:
