From a press release issued by Dr. Rob Tuluie:

Hello Everybody,

just a quick update:

We have been hard at work getting the Tul-aris ready for the next event, which will be at Willow Springs, Ca., on Dec 13-15. Besides testing new Michelin tires, we will also test our new 800cc Powervalve motor, with new Hot Seat Performance-developed exhaust pipes, re-valved Ohlins suspension, new body work and fresh paint. So far, indications are that the new motor is a quite a bit more powerful that what we had before. A quick run on the Doug Lofgren/Manley Cycle dyno showed over 155 hp and more than 105 ft-lbs of torque (both at the rear wheel), with safe jetting and without even trying hard to optimize everything. In addition, the powervalves (machined from titanium billet by DCM Services) help improve midrange power by over 20 hp–it should be a blast! If you can make it out to Willow for the race, please be sure to visit us in the pits.

best,

Rob
