Why the need? Anything wrong with the standard prop? Mines had tons of abuse and is still in 1 piece. I have had to replace universal joints a few times thoughjohn

As a way of an update on the Orange Chimaera - we have decided to now fit a sequential box to the Cerbera (follow that on another thread) - so the Tremec TKO600 will now be dropped into the Chimaera, this is part of a bit of a refurb both softening the suspension, dropping out the race clutch and generally making it more road friendly again. As you can see from pictures it now has a stable mate in a Ginetta G40 GT5 - for those who don't know them Ginetta build cars in the TVR style of chassis and fibreglass panels. We will be racing it in the GT5 Championship next year.
If anyone is interested in seeing it run will be at Snetterton 1st November on a trackday.

IIRC from my factory visit last Christmas, it's a 2 litre Ford unit. Nicely tuned, and very quick.
It is only the 1.8 pushes out 160BHP and is factory sealed as all the cars in the GT5 series need to be identical. But is 800kg and with aero + slicks + sequential box not much will keep up with it around the track. If it wasnt being run in the GT5 series though we could easily tune up to 200bhp no problem.
