hey dunc we believe our motor has around 850-870 hp we have been told by the guy who built the car it has 750 at rear wheels(all figures seem to add up 3600ld car, best et of 9.89 @ 136= 750 rear wheel multiply that figure by 0.85 to get hp at crank), we've spoken to barry grant and the first thing they said was that the 280 was in no way up to what we need, it has to be a 400. so we'll see, see you there dunc and every one else

What are the engine/gearbox/axle specs and what times is he gunning for. (I'm a bit lost here. Who's car is it, who's sitting in it, who's driving it?)
