Kent HP

[WDF-2]

What kind of horse power are the Kent 1600's putting out from the engine builders nowadays?

Thanks

Regional/longevity build 109-113
National 114- ???

I have heard as high as 118

Each engine dyno will differ from another. Ivey dyno engines typically 109-113 with an occasional 114. I haven't heard of any higher, but the son of the Jaguar Dealer may have slightly higher, not withstanding he's a very good driver. The same engine on the Loyning dyno may show 1-2 hp higher.

FWIW... I've got the dyno sheets from the Crossle I purchased showing 115.8cHP at about 6200-6300rpm.

It's an aluminum head Ivey motor dyno'd at Ivey

Referring to iron heads only. Aluminum heads are generally stronger. Some sanctioning clubs do not permit the aluminum head.
