80+ bhp from a naturally aspirated RV8 ain't half bad.

I think it is only a matter of time until one of the racers with these heads hit's the 100 bhp per litre mark.

What is so impressive?

+200cc bigger engine and more radical cam is worth at least 30hp
You can calculate that head´s are worth approx 30hp.. With good ported original head´s difference is not that big.. 43mm inlet valve will flow enought air for +440hp

My target is +420hp in the next summer with my 5.2l and home ported head´s.. I will not use my welded head´s in this summer.. Bodywork take to mutch time..

But 429hp result´s are good for rover, but not worth of that money.. He has got 35hp more than my engine, and i use milder cam and STD home modded head´s..

440 bhp in theory so why few, if any cars even come close to this figure, even with latest race heads and cam?

+ V8 blokes heads have had no serious porting work - there's still work to be done to stretch out that 35 bhp.

I firmly believe someone will break the 100 hp per litre naturally aspirated and possibly with TA heads.
