In reply to Shavarsh :

It's been a great engine. Noticeably less torque than the V8's in the Cam-T class, but it's easier to drive (less pedaling it and catching the rear on turn exit).

I believe it's competitive at any level. 

It accelerates better since swapping in the lite weight flywheel and doesn't vibrate, lol.

Thanks, it's a work in progress. I'm looking forward to doing the composites and exterior finish, but I have to get the functional stuff completed first.
