Quote from: rx jamie;560444ive seen a 550hp cosworth engine in a westfield before. it span all the way through the gears to an 11.1 quarter. still spinning over the line. too much power i think


cossie is not the best engine for a light car like a kit car,  it has a really peaky power band and running that sort of power its running about 2 bar of boost and comes in like a kick in the nuts.

you dont see too many 550 bhp cossy engines,  he must have thrown some money at it.  

11.1 is still very impressive! what was his terminal?
400 BHP - 650 KG\'s = 616 BHP Per Ton of Rotary Power

That\'s the way to do it! :Thumbsup!
