Max Ever Hp With A Screw ?

What will your 1871 M5 make on a BAE

 

Do you happen to have a GPM number for the c rotor at 3500hp vs. the 88 mm turbo at 3500 hp? Ie does it take the same fuel make the same power in both combos or is the screw using 4500 hp worth of fuel and the turbo car only 4000?

In response to TOL's post; I like the way that you explained the turbo vs. the screw, it's probably the best way I have heard it explained. With that, I believe that the engine backs up below the screw blower and that the theoretical efficiency stays the same, but the blower backs up and creates more heat because the engine can't flow it. We dump more fuel in the hat now then we used to which helps keep the manifold cool. Conversly we could tighten up the lobe center on the camshaft a little bit which increases the overlap (ie lost boost/fuel out of the exhaust) to get the engine to flow more, but at the end of the day we are still wasting fuel.

 

And what is all that extra methanol doing to the VE of the screw ???
