I've wondered - if you go crazy with big valves, cams, forged pistons, rods, billet crank, monosleeves, lightened xyz what is actually possible?
Heard 240bhp from reliabe source but never seen one in the flesh. 185-200 much more common. The problem with power claims is the lack of measurement standardisation and knowing that you are comparing apples with apples.
Bit like the hi-fi amplifier claims for power outputs where one claims peak-to-peak vs root mean square values. An amp rated at 282W p>p is the same as 100W rms.
Which would you buy if they cost the same?
I know you are a smart guy Evan. You'd buy the blue one right? ;D
Talking to some of the boys in VRA, 170-175 HP ATW's is about the mark to be at the pointy head of the field
