Go easy on him. He has been retired for 26 years from what is now Cosworth Technologies (Part of Mahle Powertrain group).

Mike won't have a clue about current projects, but I'm sure he will have a jolly good laugh when he hears that there are people who are surprised that a highly-tuned normally aspirated 2.0l 4cyl engine may be "a bit down on torque" when used 4-5,000 rpm below its red line.
