Hey !
I was going through a design report by UTC, and they assumed the engine (BnS) developed the 10 HP power peak at the governed 3750 RPM. Well, as far as my knowledge goes, An engine develops max power at it's highest RPM, and I've seen my engine going as high as 5500 RPM. So, what's the deal...who's wrong ?

I've seen my briggs at 7200 rpm... thats a lot of horses! But I think I've seen something in the rules about this... |

When does BnS deliver top HP ? |

Open the Rules and read every word of it. Then reread it again. It tells you max HP!

Published (and probably predicted) data from the official SAE forums (http://forums.sae.org). If anyone has done actual dyno testing to back this up, that would be neat. To my knowledge, nobody is sharing the infos if they have. |

Briggs power numbers have been covered in many threads on this forum...
I specifically left out one (blueprinting) but if you really want to read it, you can use the mystical search button.
