Update 50 - Trailer lift, Rolling Road and power!!
The trailer was sent off to PRG to have the Hydraulic second deck fitted... works a dream. Also we managed to grab a cancelled slot for the Blue and White car at leading Omex agent Northampton Motorsport to have the engines initial start, run-in and set-up. Finally - what power did it make? (the power graphs are not quite the final ones - but the power tables are).

Wow, a trailer lift. I have never seen one other than for a giant semi trailer. This makes transport of multiple cars amost with in reach of the common man. I am assuming from the pics that one is angled up the second car is positioned underneath??
Cheers,
Mark Yes there is some overlap I have tried to minimise this as the overall internal length of the trailer is 21ft rather than the standard 17ft.

Lovely stuff.
That torque curve is just fantastic. It has a very broad band of near maximum torque. Incredible for a highly tuned race engine. I imagine that the length of the inlet tract and the design of the exhaust manifold has a lot to do with it. Other than the obvious of the cam, pistons, ports etc. I suspect so - I think the exhaust is responsible for the rise in power at the top end. We designed the exhaust very carefully and its lengths and pipe sizes have been calculated in relation to the cam timing, valve size and exhaust port dimensions. The exhaust is designed to make the most of the pulsing from the previous cylinder. The inlet tract has not had the same detailed analysis other than the tract it super smooth from the trumpet to the back of the valve......

Thanks for all your progress reports and updates during the preparation, they are a very interesting read and visually.
What a great professional outfit and transport you have prepared and I wish you all the luck in the world this season with your two cars.
