I think the secret is the stand-alone ECU, so he can tune it for max hp without any concern for emissions, or idle smoothness. Also, no frigging engine braking. The EG33 block and heads are a great design. Once it is freed of the mundane concerns of a street legal machine, there is no reason why it can't make prodigious HP, even NA.

I think it's time for me to register my car as a collector so I won't have to go for emission inspection
