[V8] Roger's dilemma

[Andrew Schlueter]

See it is nice to have 250bhp…n/a. I had a chipped 20v, pressure transducer came loose and did not advance timing on boost which lead to spun rod bearings on first motor. Built up a second motor in one week, 7a cams, stage 3+ clutch, aluminum flywheel, 10mm race wire, and the list goes on. 2 weeks later, spun rod bearings again, but this time I was 1200 miles from home. It was not until Keith got my car when he found the issue with the pressure transducer. At the time, our test 200 20v had been dismantled so I could not test the ecu before dumping $5k into anther motor, just to blow up.

Why not just chip the 20-valve?
