They would have fitted a smaller pulley if they could have got away with it! After all power sells....
Torque bends rods, not horsepower. You keep mentioning that "Cosworth said this" and "Cosworth said that", but never actually cite your sources. Statements such as the bold above, tell me you either hear what you want, or make things up that are completely asinine.

If that were the case, ptuning wouldn't use a GT30, and Edelbrock wouldnt use a TVS 1320.
