Knighty:
I recieved an Aussie mag. recently which the history of the Windsor/Boss engine in Australia, and found out the current Supercar Ford V-8 are Boss 302 derived (there words, but it is the generation 35+ years removed) engine that with a strict 7,500 rpm limit, intakes valves limited to 2.125 inches, and a 10:1 comp. ratio, is still putting out 640 hp at 7,500 rpm and 470 lb. ft of torque at 6,000 rpm.
Lord only knows what it would do with another 2,000 rpm, unlimited comp. ratio, and unlimited valve size.
Now if the ACO is so paranoid about horsepower, such a limit is far more intelligent than strangling an engine.
