The gearbox is a Marcotte from Quebec with a 1.93:1 ratio. Engine management is Subaru stock from the SVX. The engine is stripped of many items that are unnessary in an aircraft. During races it consumes about 16 gallon per hour so I think it is making 200 to 210 HP.

I forgot to mention that we have run this Glasair/EG33 in twenty two air races.
