BMW F-1 had the famous "Grenade" qualifying engines back in the 80's - good for 3-5 laps then Kaboom!
 
Its still hard for me to comprehend so much power from something with the volume of a 2L Coke bottle!

Ah hah - right on Ed.  Ergo supercharging.  Our little twin turbocharged V-6 TAG Turbo F1 engine - all 1500 cc's of it, allegedly put out 1100 hp at about 12,000 rpm.  To hold this bomb together the engine block has the standard 8 long studs that go through the head BUT the heads ALSO have 6 studs each that go though the block!  Also, each intake and exhaust port has 4 studs each to hold the each intake and exhaust manifolds to the head.  THen the bottom end is held together with a separate casting which looks like a sump - but its the girdle for the mains and there are about 18 - 8 mm studs for that.  Ayep - tight tight tight.

More air really is the tricky bit with motors, isn't it.  The other bits, more fuel, better spark, etc are easy peasy by comparison.  Mind you, once you get enough air into the motor, keeping the heads on, and not blowing the bottom out of the case provide their own challenges too. hee hee

Hmmmm - HP is equal to Torque x RPM divided by 5252.  So either the breathing efficiency is improved to improve torque or the RPM was increased.  If the motor becomes a better air pump - RPM may not need to increase - tho it could - that much to get more HP. 
I dunno, I could be wrong.

here are the before dyno results
 
100% stock
 
211.0 RWHP, 185.8 ft/lbs peak with STOCK EXHAUST AND CATS
 
 
so a 25%  increase should yield   263.7 RWHP 232.2 ft/lbs peak
 
I would be very happy with this.

Yes, I'd love to see that, too.

But having said that, 270HP * 1,25 = 337,5HP
That's about the power of a 348 GTB (320HP) , and that car costs about the same as a 328 ...

25% peak?

That would be amazing...please keep us updated on this project. I'd love to see before and after dyno numbers.

Thanks,
LS
