A fellow from the STF that stopped by the shop a few weeks back.....

BTW- Thats my daily driver and has been all summer, since March actually...

9K miles and not even a valve adjustmentnot even a carb synch!I have not touched the engine!... Very tame on the street (except the 3K pound clutch) and well behaved unless you are on the throttle...Then you better hold on because the engine makes 200 pounds of torque at less than 3000 RPM max torque was 237!....... 235HP at only 5500 RPM (196 RWHP @ 5K)

and.....25-27 MPG!
and.......it runs head temps of 275 and oil temps of 220 at max in 95 degree heat!

There is a thread about it on my forum from the guy that took the video.. read the last page at the response from another member that drove the car a few days ago...

Oh yeah....... Thats all with a small set of 48mm carbs, and a combo thats totally screwed up because it was my first try at making cylinder heads from scratch (I need to redesign the rockers so I can run a ratio rocker so I'm .175 shy of the optimum net valve lift!!)

In 6 months this engine will be 300 ponies with Autronic EFI, a head mod or two and my roller cam and lifters.

The best part is that she idles at 800 RPM, doesn't sound built at all and drives smooth as glass!

She'll be coming apart after the SCCA Run offs for a wear asessment and the updates... I'm contemplating driving it to the run offs with the datalogger on board for one good long final trip before starting all over again on 3.0 V2!
