Markski's engine had many software and hardware development issues to be dealt with along the way, as well as he had fitted his own intercoolers prior to shipping the car down. So, the engine had to be fit and final fab done in the car. Once it was in he car and fired, there was no turning back
This car has set a new precidence for efficiency.... Previously, Vralexanders had it with 863 crank hp @ 1.327 bar or 370hp/bar of boost absolute (863/(1.327+1)) = 370.86.
Markski's at 1033 crankhp at 1.5 bar made 413.2hp/bar of boost absolute (1033/(1.5 + 1)) = 413.2
That's 11.4% better power for the same boost... That's where the fun stuff is

I was looking at TRK's (Todd Knighten @ Protomotive) rep power and it was at zero. 
I tried to add and it said, "You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to TRK again."
I believe his recent achievement deserves more.
Come on guys, let's get it up there.

This is true. Nut jobs (And I mean that in a good way) like Alex and Markski have paved the way for the rest of us high HP wannabes. I'm getting in line for the VRAlex Protomotive Kit.
