The old 1500cc turbo f1 engines from the 80's had up to 1300bhp!

Confused but excited.

Keep hold of your old 1600 X-Flows then. Could be a new market for them. 
Tell them about the bent treacle edges!

Ferrari won't like it because they can't sell supercars with 1600 4pots. With a v8 you can pretend it shares some technology.
10,000 rpm is BEC territory so the technology will be much closer to cars you can buy/build.

Never argue with an idiot. They drag you down to their level, then beat you with experience.

Those power levels are very achievable, a bit lame really.
If you go to Big CC Racing with a busa engine and 10k, you can leave with 600bhp.
That's less than than Ferrari's toilet roll budget.

The rusty old BMW blocks story is a myth according to an article in Aug 09 Racecar Engineering.

I think it's great!
The time is right for a fuel efficiency war and it will make the racing much more strategic.

Cue joke about Ferrari and a need for over 10k worth of toilet roll
