Most BHP from a K Series

[Fat Arnie]

I read elsewhere of and 1800 K whihc produced/s 260bhp.

I know of a 1900 Scholar which did 255bhp after a money no object prep, and thought this was the most ever achieved. Peter C's did 253 IIRC.

Who's got the most?

There is a chap with a pre-lit Westie, mainly doing sprints that has 286bhp from a rather special K, built by Dave Andrews & himself.

111mph over the line at Curbourgh on list 1A tyres!

[Fat Arnie]

Now that is impressive, especially given the tyres.

[Peter T]

Only 260 from my 1800cc.

[Fat Arnie]

Was that on the roller at Road & Track Pete?

[Peter T]

Yes.
Why?

[Fat Arnie]

Thought so.

D brown's used to make over 280 IIRC



(for about 3 laps that is... before early bath)

Think one of the Elises k series in the LOT championship was circa 260 @ emerald?

Yes - Simon is quite quick! It is not only a powerful engine, but the car is somewhere around 450kg - less if he finds something else he can drill a hole in....
