Yeah, there is a guy who switched from BBC on nitrous power to the Toyota 3.0 six pot and he is going a little bit quicker. However the class has restrictions on power adders- you cant run a turbo AND nitrous- unless your engine is 3.0 litres or under. So the smart guys run the Toyota six pot with a huge turbo and then use a shot of nitrous to spool it.
I had thought about entering the class using a 3.5 litre Rover V8 (215 Buick to you), then sleeving down the bores/destroking it to make it a 3.0 litre,which means huge twin turbos could be used with a shot of nitrous to spool them. The late Rover block is available with cross bolted mains, and some decent aftermarket heads are available from Australia.
However, I'm a Pontiac guy so it looks like I'm stuck in the past!
