@Team-RTR: sorry, don't have a pic of the crank.
My comparison of RB/Nova and LRP/Picco was only to give you an idea how the relation is, there's no similarities between our engine and RB whatsoever as far as I know.
The Z.12R Team doesn't lack top-end in my opinion. Timing, exhaust port, etc. are all defined to allow best overall performance. Of course it's always a compromise between best possible acceleration and best possible top-end... But I feel we did pretty well...
