Thanks Paul, TBH anything approaching 7,000 rpm on the road in Monty is a bit mentalist loud!

I should probably try harder but according to all my ECU logs 6,950 rpm is as far as I've ever taken him, so it'll certainly be interesting to see what it's like when we take the Duratec to 7,300 rpm and beyond in an enclosed environment, ear defenders might be the order of the day listening

My mate Dave will be going on the rollers after Monty, we're excited to see what his Honda K20 engined Z-Cars Mini (Molly) makes, here's Molly stretching her legs on YouTube with Petrol Ped:



We believe Molly weighs around 825kg and her Civic Type-R engine makes somewhere approaching 240hp @ 8,000 rpm, thats around 290 bhp per tonn in a classic Mini shocked2
