len3.8,
Let me pick on you for a sec. What you ask for is absolutely meaningless... and encourages the same naive comparisons of peak HP. To what end? Too many people care about this and it is almost meaningless. Let me give you an example. My BBSC (N1K @ 6psi) is peaking at just a tad over 400HP. I also have some dyno charts from a GroupeM showing a peak HP of approximately 360HP. Just by looking at the dyno results I can assure you that this GroupeM car can kick my BBSC ass - no questions asked. Why?
Looking at the dyno plots (and providing you very rough numbers) the GroupeM is producing 30-50 HP MORE than the BBSC from 3000 rpm up to about ~7000 rpm. 7000 rpm is where the BBSC crosses the GroupeM HP curve and races toward 400 HP. In looking at the curves, it is so obvious which is superior. There is a HUGE area between the two curves from 3K to 7K and then there is this very small triangle from 7K to 8K where the BBSC is on top. So, the BBSC gets the bragging rights for peak HP and will firmly get its ass completely kicked by the 360HP GroupeM.
Oh yeah, don't forget that I am biased in my opinion. I'm a happy BBSC owner - but pragmatic about systems that produce more useable power. Now, if you want to talk about visibility through the rear window and packaging... there may be a different story.
OK, end of soapbox... just tired of meaningless comparisons especially when they may influence newbies to make the wrong conclusions.
