Re: 150 ci ... 720 hp
most believe they will be over 800 by mid season, the goal was to reduce the prevouis output by roughly 20% as they were pushing (and some teams exceeding) 1000 HP with the 3.0 v-10's.... other rules that might end up being a bigger deal are new wing rules (raise the front wing and move the rear wing forward, smaller diffusers under the car), new tire rules and qualifying rules might play a larger role.... also, there is still debate on how the old 3.0 v-10's can be used, almost all agree with the current restrictor, the v-10 will have an advantage..(not all teams have developed their v-8's yet...) should be interesting with one tire manufacture again.... prepare for the return of ferrari....

Re: 150 ci ... 720 hp
Well guys. I was forced at gunpoint to install a 159 cid Offenhauser into a customers boat. The engine had made 1000 HP at Indy at 10,500 rpm back in the 1970's I think. We had it detuned and converted to gasoline and turbocharged with a water wrapper around the turbo. It was a disaster. We had a mechanical engineer involved who could read a 300 page EFI manual without it putting him to sleep. As I privately predicted, the boat would not plane off. We then used a 3 speed turbo 400 transmission to let it rev up through the gears. Even then with 6 different prop tests it would barely stay on plane. We shifted gears at 8500 rpm. At that speed you wanted a steel shell over your genitalia. The waste gate ran red hot and we were afraid it would catch the boat on fire.
