There's an original higher quality MP4 version of that on my webspace,
here, which will play OK via Quicktime plugin or Realplayer.

Sweet, sounds like it'll do naughty things. Slightly more HP than the river roof

This thing is quick, I mean seriously quick, and fast car quick
Do you know what I mean? No throttle to pull away, up into 3rd at 25 mph and it just pulls. Well impressed. Anyone is welcome to come and have a look and a ride.
Pete.

Super fast quick, absolutely effortless performance.
Nice to passenger on the test drive, oh and then toast the installation with a few beers.
Question: Is this the first 3.3 SVX 16"?

How much torque does it produce?
A bit of high density foam under the accelerator pedal should help to prolong the life of the gearbox, sounds very nice!

228 lbft @ 4400 rpm

230 ft-lbs, 230 HP ish I think..
Due to dual volume intake plenum, amongst other things, very nice flat torque distribution
