As good as your engine looks, have you got any pics of how the hulls coming along?
When do you reckon you will be in the water?
What formula will you race in next year and who will ski for you? (Is is Cye)

Great looking engine - what power are you expecting?

Sticking with the Phantom - or going for a more exotic hull?

Not F2

Wacky since when have you or anyone else ever run a standard motor???
Standard engines are only a requirement at the worlds and even then almost everyone ran a tuned motor.

Wacky why do you think this isn't a legal motor???
Name one team that is running a standard motor in F2.

This engine will run on 95 octane fuel doesn't even require super unleaded.

Yeh I suppose that is what we have come to expect from a tuned 2.5, it does seem however that the Yanks know a little more on the subject of tuning these engines than us over here.
Time will tell I guess.

The 2.5 drag motor that I had was fine never missed a beat, and that constantly seen 7500-8600rpm.

Time will tell I guess
