That is some awesome power, Brian. Excellent job.
Do you have an in car camera setup? I would like to see how this monster is out on the track, or maybe some nice canyon roads.
We all know you can spin the rollers right out of the dyno, put it on the tar and show us some video.

It actually has ROUS's in it:
RODS of unusual size
Seriously it is stock bottom end except for the pistons (JE) and rod bolts (ARP).

Hi Brian,
Since the Mini is such a "small" car, it's even more exciting that you achieved such impressive wheel-Horse-power, rather than wheel-Pony-power
I may have missed it, but what accounts for the difference in performance between this run and the previously reported run?
BTW, aren't there too many stop lights on Hawthorne Blvd. for you to get much acceleration fun when going from home to the shop?
See ya' in Wa-gus...

That's what was on it when I saw it last Friday.
I think it was the NAWS that the numbers up that big, but Brian will ahve to confirm or deny that one. I wasn't there when they made that pull....
