Think it makes around 450, the exhaust manifolds were awful looking things. He can get in it and drive it though.
Think he's turbocharging it? Stopped buying the magazine a while back because I was fed up with the spelling mistakes, terrible editing, getting pages 1-32, followed by 1-32, then pages 64 to the end, stuff like that.
If it is bein turbid then some monster turbos are going to be needed! I would guess deisel units would be good as they match the rpm profile of the engine. Think he's turbocharging it?

As for the original engine, getting all that steel to produce ~16ltrs up to 8000 rpm is some achievement!

He'll need more like 1100bhp won't he, if he wants 1000bhp after supercharger losses?
Met him a couple of years ago at Mallory Park, really sound bloke is Charlie. Proper backyard engineer. I can forgive the lousy grammar in PPC magazine as the subject matter such as this SD1 is far more interesting to me than the perfectly punctuated prose in Evo!
