saw this thing this weekend at the Knox Mountain Hill Climb in Kelowna BC.

Talked to the very briefly, but from what i gathered, the car has been boosted for approx 15years with this setup on a stock bottom end with .020 off the shelf cast pistons. No trick goodies, strictly HMT.

guy was running 17psi through the first day of the practice runs and 1st 2 time trials. He opened her up to 20psi on the next day of time trials.

was definately a cool car to see...ugly as sin, but the car was climbing that hill at under the 2min mark, which is nothing to be pissed about.

enjoy. ill see if our crew got any more pics of this thing.

edit:

found 2 more

A20 FTW!! But seriously, ive hit 17-18psi on my stock bottom end and the pistons looked just fine even after being overheated, detonated, and boosted in general as well as the 135k miles in total the engine has on it. Plus, you could still see the crosshatch in the cylinders!!

copied from the official site

"The Knox Mountain Hillclimb, is run annually on Knox Mountain Park Road, in the City of Kelowna. The road, while paved, is narrow with off-camber corners, and steep grades; a nice Sunday drive, but hardly a race track. It is 2.2 miles (3.5km) long, and climbs approximately 800 feet (245 meters) in elevation for an average grade of 6.7%..."

are you talking about the green #31 mini owned by Larry? Yup he was there as well. He went off the course i believe on the second day but he and the car were ok. He finally broke through the under 2 min mark and there was quite the standing ovation for him as he has been tring to do that for quite some time.
