A litle explanation about BMEP, it is not directly a measure of an engines power as volume is taken out of the equation, sort of a power per volume figure. On an engine it is measured by a "brake" torque meter. The range of BMEP values for piston engines is known, and in initial design a target BMEP can be used to calculate the desired displacement for the engine HP goal.
