Also, intercooled Innovate kit (since Cosworth kit is also intercooled I figured I should compare ICd versions) makes a lot more than 220-260 nm at flywheel, it makes roughly 170-175 lbft of torque at the wheels at 2500 rpm as you can see in the above graph, so it should be something like (170/.82)x1.36 (since the drivetrain loss is about 18%) it should be something like 280-285 ntm torque at flywheel and more importantly it looks a lot smoother than that bumpy Cosworth Torque, of course it's too early to anticipate but this is what I see so far 
showing the flywheels numbers don't really tell us anything about the real world conditions, it just looks cool since the numbers are overly inflated |
hang on the 'bumpy' CW curve has a variation of 15Nm = 11ft/lb which about the same variation as the Innovate curve that you show and 15nm out 300 isn't exactly a huge variation now is it? 5% or so...
I think yes you're right in saying its putting out a very similar amount of power to the innovate SC with its intercooler however the CW setup has a lot more to give and will very likely not have heat soak issues
