Top Gear review with Cosworth input:

Cosworth’s cooling system is built to take 400bhp, and the company is yet to dabble in changing physical engine components. So we’d be surprised if something with 350bhp or more doesn’t appear in the coming year or two. With the better tyres and brakes sampled here, that doesn’t strike us as a silly idea at all. Bring it on."
I think Enigma just completed a track day as well recently. It may be good to see what he says.
All I am saying is that I just didn't think saying it was not suited for track usage when there was no basis to your claim just was not a good way to establish confirmed information on this message board.
Well it shows how efficient the cooler is over the rev range with the blower compressing the air at each RPM. I am sure each kit varies about how efficient it is on one pull. It would be good to get the other superchargers information on this to compare. Also, go check out a Cosworth Dyno video. They are held at each RPM. This may have not been, but that is how the dyno test all engines. The engine is loaded so much the headers are fully glowing.
**I am confused now is the glam person also the CSG Mike, because they are responding to the same information.

maybe it's because we may have similar feedback from track days, we don't typically share the same ideas all the time though
thing you don't understand is Top Gear comments, or how the cooling system is built to take (400hp) doesn't necessarily mean the engine will be running fine with extended track use.. because first Top Gear tests or any magazine tests only take a snapshot of the system so you will see most magazines praise the PSS tires not because they last long but because it performs very good for a couple of laps and secondly Cosworth SC kits are prone to overheating and heat soak by design (not for mild track use in the above example but extended use) .. you would be surprised how many people blew their engines because of that, go search Cosworth supercharger in the Miata forums..
