Wittmans V8, N37SW, was redlined at 225 statute. Wittman was somewhat evasive about redline for W10. I have had two sets of early W10 plans that did not have a...
Interesting specs on the W-8. I set the Vne on my W-8+ at 185 MPH because the ASI I used didn't go any higher. But, I stitched the surfaces for 200 MPH, just...
