DANG!!!!

It just so happens that this motor is local to me (tracracing.com), I had to
visit them today for head work, and they told me this motor runs to 11000
rpms, and idles at 3000 rpms.

This is not a street motor... but it sure looks sweet :)

Cheers.

13:1 is streetable.  All you have to do is run like 115 octane for 76.  I
realize I have a knock sensing system by my 16v has about 12:1 and it will
run on regular (runs better on racing fuel but regular works).  The reason
why I am comenting on this is because I have been contemplating running the
8v solid lifter head on a 16v block and figured the compression would be
similar to this.  Others have said that it would run fine on racing fuel.
Just curious.
