Yeah, OK Bill :-).

Well, Mike tells us KC folks that the well prepared engines average around 110, but still claims he builds 128hp legal engines. Sounds like the conversation he had with the MAC just might have been a little biased? I firmly believe that 140 is obtainable with the proposed rule changes. Bill Schmidt >>> "Art" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 02/25/07 7:01 PM >>> Ahhhhhh Bill, we did "talk" to Mike and he has told us that the current Solo Vee engines produce 110 HP on a good day. Is that good enough or do you wish to argue with yourself? :-) And, I won't take any offense about you thinking that we would consider him "....some lame-ass bullshitter!" Next :-).

Last time I checked, Mike Gray was considered one of the Nations top air cooled vee engine builders. He has been an scca racer/engine builder for 30+ years, not some lame-ass bullshitter! I bet if you emailed him, he would provide the dyno sheet for you. He does sell race engines for something in the $5500 range, as I recall.

Bill, As I said to Bob, let's see the dyno sheets :-). If your buddy or Bob can't produce them, it's only so much rhetoric and bravado :-). I think I'd put more faith in the information garnered from a professional engine builder over unsubstantiated claims.

A solo buddy of mine claims 128hp on his vee and has had no grenading in 2 years of solo. I for one have no problem believing him or the claim of 125hp for Mr. McDonald. Bill Schmidt 88 RD Kawi ( I claim 66 hp ;( >Also having been told that John McDonalds car, before he bought it, was putting out 125hp, Every professional VW engine builder that we had talked to in the past about updating the 1600 engine would laugh at that figure for a currently legal 1600 engine in F Mod. Is there an outside chance that HP figure would be available, yes it is possible, but it would be nothing more then a grenade that would last a few minutes of run time and then explode in a crowd pleasing display :-). Bottom line Bob, somebody told you MacDonald's car was making that much HP. Without some dyno sheets to back that up, it's only good bench racing talk :-). ________________________________ FormulaCar Magazine - A Proud Supporter of Formula 500 The Official Publication of Junior Formula Car Racing Subscribe Today! www.formulacarmag.com or 519-624-2003 _________________________________ _______________________________________________ F500 mailing list - [email protected] To unsubscribe or change options please visit: http://f500.org/mailman/listinfo/f500 *** Please, DO NOT send unsubscribe requests to the mailing list! ***
