OK Lynn, what's the guesstimate for a 44.. P-port intake ( single rotor) at 7,500 using the RX8 high compression rotor with 3mm seals. And would I get more with a bigger port?

Extra data in the game. 13B size, Higher compression, always good news. I deal runner and header length and diameter for 7,500, 130 HP. Just a guess. Put it in a car and get it on a chassis dyno. Pports can be very unhappy with poor muffling systems.
 
Or build one if you have a reduction system and a prop big enough to absorb the power.
Here is a display dyno that could include HP and thrust if some play is left in the pillow block bearings.

Thanks Lynn,
Yep! I'm working on the runner length, but I don't want to make them too big and lower velocity,  44.. or about 1.73" is bigger than I originally envisaged, I was originally looking at 1.5", then 1.6 to overcome butterfly disturbance/restriction, but I didn't want to go to 2", as I thought this unnecessary for the RPM.
 
I though the higher compression would be best for the single - thanks for confirming that.
 
Will definitely have it run on a Dyno when completed.
 
Have been working with Bill Jepson on the Magic Muffler!!
 
I am seeing a chap Monday on the crank shaft, he seems to be the person I'm looking for - will see.
 
BTW cut down a double crank to compare weights and found the 2 rotor weight is 13 lbs and the single 5.5 lbs ( approx) - if anyone was interested. I initially cut one down and joined the two pieces to give the machinist an understanding (visually) of what I'm wanting - it all helps.
 
125HP would be great and 130HP would be wonderful - am working on it.
