The 10hp rating is 'as shipped' you can get as much as 13 from then pre turbo ,, plus shave a bunch of rising mass and remove the blades from the flywheel for road use. The factory intakes and exhausts are extremely restrictive as-is and choke it down on the top end by plenty. Just a few ideas. Ben, if you need any measurements from my engine or pics of any part of it as shipped and as it would be installed, lmk and ill take some. If amt of my projects intending to use this engine comes to fruition, ill be buying another to start another project with. I dont think ill use it in a bike though... Maybe a reverse trike commuter or something.
