I've heard rumours of 150 bhp with 150lb ft but with a very flat torque

Sounds useful.

I'm hoping for maybe 120 bhp but more torque initially. I'm going to do some
mild tidying up of the head and a bit of work on the bottom end, nothing
special but while I've got the race workshop [1] to myself it'd be rude not
to really.

[1] one of the British Super Bike teams workshops. They're all away this
week so I've got the workshop to play in.

Lucky! D'you, err, want some free labour?!
