It has produced 450 whp on pumpgas at 7500 rpm and 1,8 psi. 506 whp/567 Nm on racefuel at 6200 rpm and 2,2 psi. That's 595 crank hp/667 Nm, making it the worlds most powerful Volvo B20.

The cd player is non-period though!

The inlet pressures are quoted as 1,8 and 2,2 PSI - are you sure that the units are correct as I would expect to see that sort of performance if the UOM was BAR not PSI - Mike

The pedal rubbers are the incorrect ones for that period...
