Harrop Engine Build

[rushy]

so the power results.....

Courtenay mapping achieved 305 bhp with the GM supercharger showo..

the owner is debating whether to fit a Harrop sc to get possibly 380+ bhp

Did the owner end up fitting the Harrop or stick with the GM charger?

I believe it's now so quick he has decided to get driver training before increasing the power with a Harrop

the car weighs less than 800Kg, so power to weight ratio is 380bhp / tonne

That's just crazy!

Geez, good job its a track car, that would be serious fun on wet roads.

 

[vocky]

a 1400kg car like a vectra B, astra vxr, etc, would need around 550 bhp to match it

I can't even take in what that must feel like to drive. Lee's scared the poop out of me. I wonder what amount of G-Force is acting upon acceleration from a standing start?
