As we got way off subject on the suspension post I believe the moderator began deleting that not having to do with suspension. But I got an eMail with timetraveller's question which was where and how I knew i needed a 180 mph clock.
Like Mercedes using the Autobahn there were long stretches of smooth nearly straight stretches of lightly used highway above and below Oneonta, N.Y. (I-88) ..... few if any cops.
When it became apparent early in the test phase of this very abbynormal machine would make a 120 clock run out of numbers in third gear of a five speed box I knew more numbers were needed, yes, it indeed passed the 150 mark.
I am still trying to get Picasa to show full size.... so today I am trying something different.... it worked from here on both Safari and Chrome... you click the photo to see it big.
Speed was obtained thu redesigned cylinder heads.... oil cooled for one thing, judicious use of Dan Swain's fused ceramics (Swain worked for Newman's race team) and redesigned valve system.... and lots of other stuff.
Let me know if this works for you:
