10,000 rpm in a 1fz is pretty crazy

Yeah, 10,000rpms, 2300-2500hp, 6.4 seconds and 270mph in 1/4 mile and no head gasket issues

I like the "we tore it down just to take a look inside, everything looked good, so we put it back together" part. Sounds like a lot of threads on mud.
Did they say they destroked the motor? They say very little about the guts for the motor.
Yes, de-stroked to 4.0 litre (necessary to achieve higher rpm and might also have to meet 'class' restrictions).
Where?

No intercooler. Can they do that because of the large volume of liquid alcohol fuel cooling?

Yep exactly. They said at full tilt they are running 4:1 air to fuel. So compared to even a very rich 10:1 on gasoline they have a lot more enthalpy of vaporization to cool the air way down.
It will be interesting to follow where they run into issues when they start to reach full potential. It sounds like they have quite a bit more room to go.

A lotta gum smacking

Pretty sure it is the opposite of gum smacking. Their results kind of speak for themselves.

? Ben Bray Racing? The winningest race team in Australia?
A 1FZ that makes over 2300hp, runs the 1/4 mile in 6.4 seconds at over 270mph?
Yeah you are right, those are not results.

I have no idea what you are talking about but I would say you certainly do a lot more "gum smacking" than Bray Racing.
Given the Kanoo 2jz is making 2500hp and is completely torn down after every other pass- I would venture to guess that this 1fz will handle quite a bit more boost/hp.
