1600-1700 Watts = ~2.15 Hp, not 1.5 to 1.7

Also depends on how many amps of current as well. Your not pushing out at 2.15 HP . You would lose power from heat . so realisticly your only going to use 1.5 to 1.7 HP. I also said they CAN produce up to that many watts. During sprints they can . I never said they do It continually. Continuous wattage is around 450
