Hi, just to let you know we have achieved our aim of running an 8 second pass using a Rover V8 engine. Your cylinder block with Ductile iron liners has held up to the extreme pressures of a supercharger and methanol fuel and we are very pleased with it.
We ran a best of 8.93 @ 146 mph in the 1/4 mile and reached 119.87mph in 5.59 seconds to the 1/8 mile, with more to come. We think this is the first '8' from a rover without nitrous injection.
