Yes, both machines have been, to use racing parlance, heavily breathed-upon, but nonetheless:

BFA is a known entity and makes/builds some straight up amazing things. but 43hp from a 150 makes me skeptical. built LF small blocks are pushing 25ish and the sub 250 BB motors are into the 30's

when you're talking anything over about 20~25ish the compounded difficulty to achieve more HP grows by leaps and bounds.

Typing BFA Vespa into Google gives me a hit for a 306cc kit on SIP at the top. I'm doubting it was 150 even though the host said it was - he didn't even know that it's not a moped
