yea i have found some info from a cosworth powered f1 car frm 1989, but it doesnt say wht kind of power output it was making, the max rpm was 11000 tho, would that be able 2 make that kind of power levels.
some of the things they want to know off me are:

mean piston speed at max rpm
B.M.E.P at full power (break mean effective pressure)
torque curve (rough example from research)
predicted topseed in low drag config
vehicle should accelerate from 0 to 100 kmh in 1.5 secs, therefore torque needs to be calculated (rear wheels) and translated into peak torque at the flywheel allowing for final drive torque multiplication and low gear ratio
