you wont make 300bhp on pump fuel!

oh and awesome work by the way. but im guessing that exhaust is gonna be running through the car? its going to be a mission to get it down past the f28 and under the car!

I know it will be close using pump fuel but as my mates uses racing fuel in he rally car i can get better fuel cheep anyway
