Paul, I enjoyed talking with you all at Sun and Fun.. I have been enjoying the web site too. I would like to do more research on the higher applications of HP in racing trim. Do you have contacts
with any racing teams in the US or abroad? I would like to know what reliable HP they are getting? Not just massive HP with blown engines in a few races. You would think with Mazda and serious money
in R& D they could get the HP up to 325. Since they have not as of yet, makes me think twice about getting that kind of power in a reliable engine. Mazda does not want to recall engines if they did
make that power and blew up in 30,000 miles.

Thanks Pitts builder
