Only 7k because we ran out of injectors

Congrats Jan on getting the Rotrex on the dyno! With that mega torque up-top, that thing will be totally kick-butt on the racetrack!

Are all the RMW parts interchangable?
If you purchase the head can a rotrex supercharger be added on later?
If you have the head can this be upgraded to the 2.0 L stroker at a later date?

I don't have any RMW products but you guys are making it more and more difficult for me to stay this way....

Congrats Jan and Longboard -

A 2.0L stroker with the Rotrex ought to make at least 350whp on pump gas?

Dammmn, Kal watch your back...sounds like SC is the way 2 go...Im sure someone will buy your turbo conversion.

Congrats on the numbers guys...I was hoping to be able to achieve something like this in time...but was told that I probably wouldnt get much more than 260whp w/o turbo. Thanks for the hope and something to progress to!

No vid today. I will see if I can get a camera for next week. I will get some road vid next week as well. The sound of the car with the new cam has a deeper tone. The whole package is just great.

yes, we made a system that is universal so you don't have to keep buying parts. (novel idea.... I know ) We continue to make kits that work together instead of bolting on parts with limited success. We don't change out factory parts that work just fine

I think the right answer for the whole Mini population is;

I NEED TO KNOW HOW MUCH IT IS BEFORE I ORDER ONE

You know the old saying... if you have to ask... you probably can't afford it

that's all I need to do is giving you the engine that will put the s/c record out of everyones hands

The good thing is that it takes a lot of ingredients to make a Rotrex cake. The 30/94 would just be one of a number of ingredient in the RMW cake .

more fun breaking records anyway....

The US Rotrex guy was here today.... let's just say he had a big on his face
Jan continues to impress. Great numbers guys!

because our fuel is 4 times more expensive so leaves less dollars for tuning

try paying 120+ dollars a week for 12k miles per year

Bah! I can afford it, But I'm still gonna ask!

Its easier to afford for me now. I just bought another car to run to work and back. Diesel, but runs on 50% cooking oil.... which I have horded enough for the next 6 months :P

Fuel has been spotted at £1.50 a litre this week in the UK.
