SKC has an engine running 185 @ wheels and there is no way I would consider SKC a "road car"
A highly tuned engine is not really suitable for road use but the amount you will be driving your Mex Paul I wouldnt worry about it
Plus aint Harris engines very peaky and great for The Pod ?

Depends on drive train !
A straight cut gearbox loses less BHP than a standard gear kit
A single piece prop loses less BHP than a 2 piece
An LSD loses less BHP
etc etc
I reckon 15% reduction with the above
20% loss with "standard" transmission
