and to think that guy with the Excel wouldn't give out his time...maybe he just runs a pitiful time with that 4g63.

If you guys have ever read the "Gasoline FAQ"
he writes a part about the honda F1 engine

They were all 1.5 liter V8, not inline 4.
Regulation for F1 was like 98 octane or some ridiculously low number that honda and BMW managed to squeeze this 1500 hp out of.

the 1500 hp was also qualifying trim, which means it was designed to survive for one lap. i believe aorund 60 psi for race trim.
