....yeah, I figured with a hp number over double the torque number it was
living on boost (especially with such small displacement)... What is "compaired to a sbc with a turbo" ?

I think the Indy Car formula has a pretty low boost limit. The best Honda racing engines were the 1987 F1 engines when the boost was unrestricted. The 1.5L V6s made 1300hp for qualifying. Race power was about 1100hp but the driver could turn a rotary switch to get an extra 100hp for passing. The racing director, Nabuhiko Kawamota claimed that the could have gotten another 200hp out of it if the boost hadn't been restricted in 1988. Kawamota later became the President of HMC. |
