^i think they are right, it has to do with the triangular shape of the chip and how it follows along with our rotors shape.

I go with Snyder of Berlin Hawaiian Sweet Onion, i think they are really good and much cheaper than $1000

Any flavor of Doritos... the shape of them is very fitting for a rotary powered car...

I think the rule of thumb is like 5hp per handful of chips.

yea doritos sent me an email and it said :
Dear customer,
Our gains are based on the cooler ranch flavor cause the rotary runs so hot we needed to cool it down a bit but if u look in the back our hp #s are equivelant to the calories per serving

I gotta go with original Lays. You get the benefit of extra oil which eliminates the need to premix

I don't think the Doritos chips work very well. I've ate like 200 bags now, and weigh well over 700 lbs. It appears my 8 feels a bit bogged down now.
