Mental...cant wait to see the track test

I wonder how this beast is doing now...? pretty sure there was a 350i that was a turbo project...mind you the Taz Turbo 280i kicked all the big V8's out the park one year at a dyno shoot-out at Wedgefest

That Chimaera is impressive... haven't watched the sequel but wonder how long the 4L RV8 lasts with 30+ percent more output... I know a guy who fitted Nitrous to a 400SE and seem to recall he had a few engine rebuilds before he gave it up and bought some properly fast Jap thing.

How fast would you like to go before you kill yourself?...for me anything over 2mph (Average speed round here) would be nice...i was contemplating NOS after an engine build, only a small bottle though 4-5psi linked to full throttle...
Funny thing NOS, round here a lot of morons use it via the balloons...NOS x Engine = more speed...NOS x Brain = half speed ...they are definitely adhering to the speed limit...

Watched this and it is special but i would think the engine won't last too long with that amount of power increase.

Again not a Wedge, but a Rover V8 twin turbo this time. Seems to have been running for years?
