"i believe it has a ferrari 360 inlet throttle body ( copy) electric water pump
etc 330 hp and its not A TURBO
says volumes about the car and its chassis to handle this"

At 330 hp the chassis would be fine , but the drive shaft &  transaxle would be pretty nervous.

Have to agree. I thought from years ago it was accepted that anything above 300Hp would make short work of the transaxle. Probably going to be torn to pieces but race car owners now.

Later model TA had better synchos.
The 75 turbo's would have churned out the most torque and their TAs survived. People have turbo'd and supercharged the V6s and the TA can survive behind those too.
Definitely not a bullet proof unit, but still useable and upgradable for reasonable power levels. And much more realistic than trying to impliment an Albins TA on anything less than 450+hp with force fed torque.

well i spoke to Ewan on the weekend and was shocked that  he sold it to sydney to one of the guys in the club,
but i will let him tell you .
Cant believe it after all that work

I have to admit that I'm rather curious about the power numbers of the engine.
Those power numbers just seemed to grow thru the corse of the thread (the last one was 350hp), but there were no mention of any real engine work.
Certainly there are no adjustable cam gears, the plenum chamber is basically standard (and far from a great design in standard form).
A set of extractors, a big throttle body, a pod filter hoovering up hot air and a programmable computer don't get the Alfa engine past 100hp/litre.
If the thing was actually achieving 330hp, 330hp @ (say) 7000rpm would need the thing to still be making 248lb/ft of torque at 7000 rpm.
Unless there are some decent camshafts in that engine, some attention to detail in the ports, plus extra compression, I doubt that is happening.
