What so big about it?
Seems like the intake ports also have a little catching up to do my some people standards!

yep the rotary drag racing scene has only really started here proper in the UK for the last 5 years, so we got to do a lot of catching up to you Americans,PRs and Ozies. We are only in the 9s at the moment for drag car rotaries.
So the above setup is the first turboed Peripheral Ported engine in the UK.
Hopefully we will have the first UK 8s this year.
The fastest IRS UK rotary has clocked 9.1@160 which was a full bridgeport FD

Hold On Its Not A Semmi Set Up,he Is Only Running The Primaries Like Stock And The Pp On The Secondaries?never Seen That Done Before Its Usually Running All The Stock Ports(brigdeported Or Sp) Plus The Pp Ports.interesting Set Up Keep Us Updated.just A Small Sugestion I Think That You Should Go Bigger On The Exhaust Port
