Either biggest area under the graph or biggest bph figure.

Don't mind either. After all the recent developments in S6 and AJP, I'm just wondering which Cerb actually takes the crown currently.

Okay, hang on, without wanting to sound too dictatorial, and without any offence meant, there is no point mentioning a Cerb with an LS motor.

Ash once mentioned putting a jet engine in a Cerb. That wouldn't be a Cerb either.

I don't want to get into a real cerb vs LS with bodykit debate.

AJP's vs S6's of any description only please for this thread.

Sorry I do not know the definitive answer but my gut feel is that the 4.7 AJP probably has the legs on any SP6.

If only we knew what BossCerb's green Cerb makes...his profile does say 440 lbs ft torque but no mention of HP IIRC.

For the whole of the time I've been a PH member the Boss has never given out the figures. Not sure why. I guess its because they wouldn't compare favourably with doms latest creations or LS conversions.

Shame because I don't really think the Boss's car is particularly in any competition.

I like to think its a rolls royce thing, and that he's never actually had it tested on a rolling road. When anyone asks about its power, he'll just smile and say 'adequate'.

Best we ever got out of the 4.5 with no internal work, however I am sure there are more powerful Cerbs out there now...

Dear me that was far too easy, don't bite so quickly next time I'm only kidding.

Taking a step back I think the greatest area under the graph is a more interesting measure to me - much more to this than just chasing after a peak number which is rpm dependent and hence a race car should always win.

As a slight aside are you now a fully fledged member of the GT cup?

Yes, we did the full season last year (allthough didnt really do it due to technical issues)

2011 will see us taking it on again subject to raising the funding.

We didn't compete in the first 5 rounds (long story, best disscussed in private)

The first we entered was the Brands Hatch GP round in September. Qualified second and atchieved fastest lap, however a driver error put me out of the first race from the lead with 2 laps to go. The second race was cut short when t-boned a spinning car at the first corner!

Spa was our second meeting, Qualified 3rd, DNF in the first race after an impact with a Ferrari caused our fuel filler to break and we lost fuel, meaning we ran out before the finish!!
In the second race we started from 9th and finished 3rd. Very pleased with that! Especially as the races were 40 minutes long, double anything we had previously done.

We also did a couple of TVR races which were very sucsessfull.

Bosscerb has been on the dyno, I am sure someone mentioned the numbers to me. I might have then somewhere.....
The most powerful surely is Gizzers? 470bhp from a 4.5 just a map and short induction and some secret stuff he did.

Yes its 4.7 i believe. Could be wrong!

Ours was slightly more at 478bhp/419 ft lbs. Although the new one should be more than that hopefully.

Would be good to have a true 500bhp AJP

Outstanding, but as a side note if you want outstanding ask Mike how heavy his car is with all that power.
