Who Has Created The Most Poweful Cosworth In The World?
I thought it was MAD as I read a quote in someone's Signature which stated the following;
Phil used to always mention Julian Godfrey so I assumed they was the most powerful until I read the above quote, as by their own admission they are barely ever wrong so I didn't think they would post something in their signature which was not correct. However, the signature has now changed and does not state they are the most powerful, just the fastest. I know MAD are the fastest, but are they the most powerful?
Just curious really, not after an argument, so don't reply if you are.

I am doing college work and designing a leaflet for a friends new business venture. Too early for what? It's a simple question and doesn't need to turn into an argument what-so-ever. As soon as an argument starts I would like the moderators to delete it.

Good question Benni, I hope it stays on topic.
I have no graphs or data to back any of this up, but i'm sure I saw a claimed 1092bhp a while back? Though this was disputed in a recent thread. Either way, speaking non-factually (so therefore pretty useless) it is the highest I've heard of.

lots of people claim things .... theory and practial are slightly different ...
would be nice to see a claimed high powered engine turn out to be lower BUT still deliver the results ... now that to me is a good builder....
and as soon as it does go south the thread will be sorted out ..

Are we talking drag engines or street engines with full boost below 4.5k, you cant have both. Think Julian is probably leading the way in the later with 879 bhp a figure that we will be chasing on Friday. The Scandys build 1.8litre 10k reving drag engines with Power approaching 1100bhp, Never seen one of those run full Power in a car . With the gas we will be approaching that 1100bhp & will be on the rollers to prove it.

In respect of rod's quote above, would the 1.8 engine be designed purely so it could rev to those much higher numbers?
Either way, theres some massive numbers being talked about here!

They are not supposed figures if all you want is Power, mine is still very much a compromise to aid drivability, relatively small ports (way below 27mm) mild exhaust cam & standard valves. Power is not a problem but difficult if you want to drive the friggin thing.

Who's sig was it then?
If it is meant to be mine (I think that is what mine used to say but cant remember the exact wording), I havent changed it at all, its been how it is now since it was deleted by Maria last week.
You seem to be confusing "most powerful" though with "highest peak BHP figure" to me the most powerful one is the one with the biggest area under the curve, so that is what I was referring to, and the biggest Ive ever seen is Rod's in this respect.
