thats amazing 15bhp

but on the road you wouldnt gain these numbers,,, airflow rates out be alot higher
agreed that the air flow rate would be higher but AVA is about as close as you can get to road condtions on a normal type RR set up.

AVA uses two of these fans and about ten other smaller fans.





makes you wonder if all the tiny small fans you see at some well known RR are up to the job
