Last years 990cc Moto Gp engines were reckoned to be in the 240/250 bhp bracket, primarily due to the revs that they could pull circa 16/17k.
Our 1600cc busa motor puts out approx 225 bhp/130 lb ft torque under 10k revs, where as our engine is based on a std production motor the Moto GP engines are purpose built race engines much in the same mould as an F1
engine.
I would be interesting to see a 990cc ducati engine fitted to a 1100cc hillclimb car, to see if it was much quicker than the current engines bearing in mind that you have to rev to 16k to get the power
