I came across this post in my inbox and it got me to thinking.

If we had some reasonably good information on HP numbers
for each of these, we could start putting together some rough
numbers for sizing radiators based on HP production.

I realize that we are not taking into account the differences
in ducting, and hose routing, etc. but it would suffice as a place
to start.

just thinking in email again...

I don't think that would be too productive as the first two
are cars and the speed and HP are low. The ducting variables
on the rest will cause real problems.
