Dont bother going bike POWA
Hi chaps, just thought id give you my views on bike powa, i like the sound of it myself, but.........boy dont they start to run out of steam at the
big speeds, the old CEC keeps on pulling. so i think bike powa is ok for small tracks etc, not so good for the road but i only seem to get about 20
per gallon. bah

if the car engine has got less than 200 bhp then its gonna get beaten by most of the high bhp becs,unless high speed is all you want and then its the
diff that restricts the bec
mine pulls to 120 very hard all the way to the red line ,its way under geared ,i dont think a 3.14 diff will help all that much either
lol 20 mpg ,,id be happy if got 10

What bike engine do you have?
What Diff?
What car / chassis?
I am interested in this thread, as I have yet to get my V8 on the road, and have no idea of what the performance will be like. I should have 230 bhp
or perhaps a bit more if lucky.
There is no substitute for BHP and Grunt.
1. The point of a journey is not to arrive.
2. Never take life seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyway.
Best Regards

The whole point of a seven is that there is a substitute for grunt - low weight.
360 BHP per tonne can either be 180 BHP in a 500kg car or 720 BHP in an all American pickup. I'd rather drive the seven.

R1's are normally around £1000 for carbed
and £1200 for fuel injected..
That's delivered.
Thanks for asking..

Picture the scene:
Saturday morning... hazy sun. 10:00. The waft of bacon butties in the air as MK lad's eat there 11:00(?)s's
A new comer saunter's up and start's chatting - eventually Leigh ( a regular) offer's to take him out for a quick spin. He returns
back 10 minutes later... 'nuf said.
He then goes out in a Pinto - for comparison... he returns. He says to wife... **** ***** ***** fill in the blanks yourself!
I'm unsure as to whether he ordered one but I reckon the grin factor says it all!!!

ive nothing against bike power as long as the weight is kept low , ive never been in one , so somebody could probably put me straight on that .
only reason i didnt do it - is i have ulterior motives , and my whole donor car thing cost less than that , and can be had upto about 250 bhp in
pretty much std trim - of course i spent twice what an R1 engine would cost, and i have 500 + hp available .
itll be interesting to see what traction problems i have .
its not all about power , - throttle response , cornering , braking , all come from low weight .

A standard 'Blade engine DOESN'T run out of puff! I've been in a few, and seen a few on a track. The Isonblade managed to keep up
with James (Hicost) round Donington and that was a fairly standard engine. Steve Faunch (yorks group) has a standard 'blade and it's
damned fast (or is it just that he drives fast everywhere!)
Saying that, mine's a crossflow and I'm sticking with that (bit of a purist at heart)
