Nicely done. Shame there's no timings for it and it would be interesting to know how that bottom end stands up to a top end thats 30% oversize + nitrous. I can think of a few manufacturers engines that you wouldn't want to do that with. :D

I wish they'd stop doing these ridiculous "lights have blown in my garage" studio shots.

I'd like to have a go on the drag strip. Somewhere cool like Bonneville rather than Santa Pod, assuming Bonneville is cool like in World's Fastest Indian and not like a car club meeting.

You'd think that that Enfield would have crank work with the power upped that much. Even fairly lightly breathed on stock motors often have one piece or rewelded cranks. But anyway it's nice to see something slightly different, that motor is surprisingly pretty
