yup thats the one
I have no top end power atm - my air flow meter is screwed, so after 4.5k rpm it doesn't pump in enough petrol.

Ultima GTR......friend of a friend has one, he dropped a Chevy 5.7 V8 block straight in (that's what they're designed to take).
And I can easily believe 175mph as possible......this one's had some work done to the engine, and topped 200mph with hardly any effort, on a test-track!
