    Question Guess the bhp - roll up, roll up

    PRIZE WILL BE A SMALL PIECE OF ROLLS ROYCE MERLIN ENGINE FROM A GENUINE BATTLE OF BRITAIN SPITFIRE! Not a clue what the BHP is (850 R Boy might) but I will welcome your educated guesses. It is in very good mechanical fettle - the engine was replaced by Volvo 50,000 miles ago: so just about run in by now. It is a manual so has a 16T. It has a RICA 304 remap. And has a Jetex cat-back exhaust and a K&N filter in the airbox. So nothing too exotic to confound the equation.
    SO GIVE ME A GUESS AT FLYWHEEL AND ROAD OUTPUT - I will keep a list (well, it will be on here) and when it goes to the RoRo I will send a (small) handsome gift to the entry with the nearest correct figure!

    Secondly, what route should I go to increase the performance of this vehicle next? Russ knows the car - so I am sure he has plenty of ideas! But all contributions welcomed.
