Nice! I couldn't keep a 700r4 alive behind my mill... thinking borrowed time there. Interesting engineering though... cool.

Its only putting out around 300 HP. This engine was used in the 50's in an unmanned Navy Helo. It was small and light, didn't need much power.

Just the whine of the turbine alone ups the intimidation factor  _________________ 92 Camaro

How does it work with a multi speed transmission? from my limited knowledge, turbines do not rev up or down very quick at all, so I wonder how the shifts feel and act. Maybe similar to a huge stall? _________________ Richmond 3.73 posi| 36/24 sway bars | SLP LM2 | Koni's | Ground Control 800/200 | Y2K wheels | Dyno Don headers & Y-pipe | airfoil | BBK underdrive pulleys | Raised strut mounts | Extended ball joints | LCARB'S
