I'd agree that 120HP is a good figure for now on a gas rord race GSXR600
motor for comparison since the motors are already very well developed from
the factory.
Does anyone have any argument that 100 HP is a good HP to use for comparison
on the well sorted and piped Rotaxes currently?
These are all crank HP-not HP at the tranny output shaft or at the ground.
It ought to be interesting to watch the passes on the straights :->

I think you are wrong about the possible HP gains Jim. The 600 race engine
builders of MUCH MODIFIED ALKY engines are getting about 125 hp. In any
case we are talking stock engines here & they will probably get 3 to 5 hp
from pipes. If they make too much power we will have to restrict them.
I already have 4 or 5 good drivers who want to drive the car this year & I
hope they will make plenty of public comments about the engine.
Thanks ... Jay Novak

Please remember that whatever initial MC HP you use, whether published or
found on the dyno, will go up about 25 HP after the racers have sorted the
motor out over a 2 year period. This has been proven over and over again
since the beginning of car racing. For the sake of keeping both the 2
stroke/CVT and MC choices roughly equal, this additional HP has to be kept
in the calculation.
