I used to navigate a 140 in SCCA Pro Rally. Always, sort of, wanted to do Pike’s Peak with Wayne Baldwin but just never happened. He ran a 240 turbo up it one time. Melted the cylinder head to a point where you could see the valve stems tubes through the head w/o taking off the exhaust manifold.

Good weekend to you all.
