Watching tractor pulls on ESPN2... The big alcohol-burning beasts are running three turbos, multistaged, pushing up to 100lbs of boost.

Nope...
Just do like a Lycoming and THREAD the heads onto the cylinders like a big pipe!

hard to do with finned cylinders no?

it would be easier if the cylinders are 2 piece...the cylinder screws into the head and the fins slide over the cylinders......sounds expensive (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif)

personally, I like the idea of the head and cylinder being one piece....harder to do a valve job, but doable and is currently offered as is for Type I light aircraft applications.....

no need for a cooling system on a 1/4 mile drag motor...

Look at pauter...he has some 1000hp motors...

They are a one shot deal...but if you win, its worth it I suppose...
