It has a 13:1 compression, chucks out 680bhp and 690lb torque. It runs on 120-octane race fuel which over here costs (are you seated?) £16 ($30) a gallon. When it ran on the dyno it was drinking 35 gallons an hour. But - what a pair!!

Trevor, by chance was this motor sourced from the southeast corner of the US of A? I saw one being dynoed that was destined for the UK some months ago with identical numbers. As always, just curious.
