Proper porn!
Nicely over the 100BHP/litre benchmark too 👍
What fuel regs apply? pump gas? Avgas?

We're getting just over 11BHP at the back wheel on our 110cc Honda C90 race bike so the 100BHP/litre target is just about hit 🤣
All on standard pump fuel too, of course... *ahem* 😇
 
95BHP at 7,400 RPM is more than I ever thought anyone could ever get out of a Commando engine. The good thing about land speed records is there are no corners. That motor might be a disaster on a race circuit. What you get up high, you often lose down low.

I'm doing similar with my string trimmer. Racegas all the way in that one. :)

how was the big plate attached other than bolts shown to help reinforcement?
 
I know of one guy with an original short stroke motor for sale for about £4k, but no idea yet of condition. (UK)
 
It is difficult to know what might be best. I would like to see inside one of PW's motors, and know how it behaved when raced. He achieved a bit. I don't trust Paul Dunstall's stuff, it was prior to the Trans Atlantic racing. I have got Dunstall's tuning notes. They are sound, but not radical - and that might be sensible.
