Pardon me for being pedantic but the Cossie engines started with about  
450hp in 1967 and reached about 530hp in their final incarnation, the  
ones we ran in 1982 were about 500hp. The turbo engines raced at about  
1000hp in 1986 (or at least ours did...) They are a bit quieter than  
the normal engines since some energy is taken out of the exhaust by  
the turbo.
cheers,
Frank
