Yes it's amazing, what seemed like a limitation a year or two ago today is the new base to work from. It's one of those things though where you do need years to prove the concept like I am doing here (various technical challenges & base line calibrations aside) nothing much in the hardware is exceptionally "different" just very minor settings changes and applying all of my knowledge and experience means I now can have a 13B rotary car in
compliant street trim that is faster than many peoples race specials!,
all while keeping amazing durability for something that is making such prodigious horsepower 
I remember reading in one of my text books from my engineering days on the development of BMW's 4cyl turbo F1 motors where Gordon Murray (Brabham/BMW designer at that time) basically said their whole program was in the firing line after a couple of years trying to go turbo, and in the end it was something so small and relatively stupid that either made it work or not (ended up being a simple calibration setting!)...... *Moral there* Lets not forget how miserably Ford Cosworth failed in attempting to make a 4cyl turbo to match BMW's at even half the power let alone 1300+bhp
I have my own little (by comparison) developments, and its all part of the challenge to develop something no one else can and do it on far less, its not the cubic dollars that makes the difference just a great concept
(WATER INJECTION) applied well, and set up to achieve what its always shown through history to achieve, the best power, with minimum stress, and all on common parts (be they mechanical *engine* or chemical *fuel*)
Hope it inspires people to follow what Sir Harry Ricardo and other great engineers have bestowed generations ago
