I think we would have been good with the photo of just the girl. But since you had to go and ruin it with the 12 rotor all I can say is... WTF was that guy smoking the day he dreamt up that engine?

You would need a 20 gallon tank just to run the quarter mile lol.

See the side panel? 400 hour warranty.

That's 16.6 days of operation.

i keep thinking a nice big axial flow sc would look really good right there in the center....... or a turbo on each exhaust side.... big fat suck children in if they arent careful turbos........

oooh and i was right i was saying that it should make close to 1500 NA and he's listed it at 1440

That was the first thing I thought too. This thing NEEDS boost.
Also, I wonder what it would do in a motorcycle....
