I have to disagree on the fuels as my memory stretches back to when you could buy genuine full leaded five star at the pumps I think 105 Octane so I doubt the green mixes today are up to that. The oils will make no difference as you have to run an Ash based old technology oil in a flat tappet old style engine with ball rockers you cannot run a thin synthetic unless you run roller cams and rockers or you will wipe those components out.
So where does that leave us? A 35k (42k with vat!!) LEGAL engine pumping out in excess of 400bhp to 450bhp (original pre edited claim) on a single carb and cast manifolds, I think not!
Hey I just had a thought, back in the day the Yanks Holy Grail was 1 bhp per Cubic Inch (i.e. on the 289 Ford 289bhp, respectable) so what is it now £1000 per 10 bhp lol!
