Basically you have to ask yourself... Does a Merc need another excuse to window a cylinder? LOL. :o

I think if they did it to a Yamaha it would work .... But you'd need a two speed transmission for sure..

Yep , a neat idea but didn't last more then a couple passes at a time.
With it being hard to adjust timing a fuel via boost reference it only made for a cool attempt. Now with todays ECU's it could work if the components were built to take it

Sure would've been cool to hear I bet.

I think I still have the Land & Sea catalogue with that on the front cover.
Very cool concept, and like Yammer said, with today's technologies it may work...and it would sound phuqing cool!!!

I still have that catalogue somewhere too lol. There's no reason they couldn't get it to work today. The 2-stroke turbo sleds seem to work well now so there should be some tech transfer there....but...aside from it being super cool there is the why factor what with the power from today's drag motors and NOS. Dumptruck turbo's ain't cheap lol.
