Wow thats impressive.
If I would have seen that last year I would have considered a Plus8 instead of my roadster. What displacement does the engine have? What modications did it require to get to this level?

Hi Beltempo, It's a 3.9 litre, 94mm bore interim cross-bolted serpentine block with Omega forged pistons, balanced crankshaft and rods, lightened flywheel, competition clutch with a Piper 234 hydraulic camshaft, medium size valved cylinder heads, quad downdraft Dellorto 45s, large bore exhaust primaries and a high-capacity anti-surge sump. The rest of the car is rather modified.

Great performance. Do the Dellorto have a fuel pump to squirt in extra fuel if you floor it like I had on my Motto Guzzi Le Mans?
