Pretty interesting to watch how they developed Turbo F1 engines for '86 season Ford racing team.

Part 1 :  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xbB1qwhKaaE&feature=related

Part 2 :  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gqfVAGOaGEc&feature=related

most prevalent engine design at the time in F1 was 1.5L Turbo 4 with up to 1400 HP.  ..that's about 933 HP /L

ROFL @:
