How no wastegates?

Both is possible: The had ´round 800-900 hp in race (engine last longer) and round 1300 hp in Qualifying.
I read that the BMW-engine-dyno showed 1450 hp in 1986, but the dyno couldn´t get all this power, so it was over 1450 hp at full pressure of 5,x bar.

I suspect the new regulations will be too easy.

ya i guess there is something to be said for too much power, couldn't really get one of those around a track!

@greame5 Google top fuel dragster, that's pretty much what would happen.
-
@epl0si0n Yeah, but the M10 cant handle this much. The S50 /or 30 can handle this much, but on 3iters engine. This gotta be spesial build! L O V E I IT!

like how power full could and f1 team actually make an engine?? like take away some of the restrictions, give them turbos and v12s and like a 3.5 or 4 L engine and see what happens!

Honda F1 turbos were over 1500 bhp for qualifying apparently . Renault started this with a 1500 ex rally engine. The story as i know it these BMW engine blocks were left outside and the workers used to urinate on them and bm said carry on is that right
They actually ran up to 5.5 bar of boost in qualifying to get over 1000hp. Less boost and power was used during the actual race in order to keep the engine intact.

This is what i read in a interview with the old BMW F1 engine engineer. On qualification laps they turned the boost up to achieve a maximum output 1600hp, but when the few laps were done the engine was so worn down they had to scrap it and replace it for the actual race. It was good old time when the engineers looked at the color of the spark plug to see if the fuel mixture was alright. To days F1 is extremely boring compared to the old days.
