Well done Paul.
The Owner/Driver Jeff Gerner deserves the credit on this one.
All I did was burn up a few more brain cells on the combination.

Wow, how do you keep it from achieving takeoff? I mean I think that's faster than any aircraft takeoff speeds. I think it's incredible it doesn't lift.

Bugatti Veryon needed 1000 bhp to hit 250 mph.

Salt has more drag than pavement too. Even MORE HP.

Its just shy of 1300HP at the flywheel.
Made around 1060WHP on an all wheel drive chassis dyno.
Power band is 6500rpm to 9300rpm.
140 cu.in. 32psi
and an AFR in the 12 teens.

Waiting for someone to realize that.
I would like to see what kind of mph a Veyron would run on the salt.
Also remember 250.009 was an average speed NOT the top speed.

First weakness? Headgasket. Second weakness? Piston ring lands. Third weakness? I dunno, I haven't seen an autopsy report of an m30 that failed due to high cylinder pressures where those first two survived. If I had to guess, I'd say rods are probably next, but the stock ones seem really stout.

Well done Paul.
