Well I found it interesting anyway. Enjoy, for those that will.

"Talk about acceleration! At 24 psi, Norwood says it makes 540 hp at the tires. The car handles very neutrally and very predictably.

Extracted from article its truly amazing how these engines and cars can be enhanced to this level of performance well worth reading [8|]

They did have more issues than this older article says. The whole engine wound up being rebuilt by John Milledge who is the godfather of the 951 race motor. Still I liked the openness of the article and it shows what can be achieved.....with buckets of money.[]

Norwood Engineering used to be owned by Bob Norwood (thought I believe he had moved on from that company before Bob Howard's 951 was built there).

Bob Norwood once built a 700+ HP 968 motor for his DOOM II car

Excellence had an article on that car in June 1998.
