Default I have decided to take up a super charger project but not for horsepower, please read.

OK I was thinking today about super chargers for rc. Now I know they weild no advantage because nitro fuel already has oxygen in the mixture but something has caught my attention.. I know for a fact that blowing out the gas is a myth because of the back pressure on my tailpipe is too much for the air to blow out at once unless the tailpipe is gutted.

Well anyway heres my suggestion. I was thinking about making my own custom tailpipe to block as much airflow while haveing enough to keep the engine going also I will have the supercharger attached, and maybe just maybe that would be enough air in the chainber to ignite gasoline. just a small sqirt so that the engine dosent become a time bomb also I could imagine haveing to find another cooling head or maybe another means of cooling.

If this works imagine nitro fuel being only an option and filling your tank for 10 cents. I hope my tests prove useful or I might waste alot of money [:@] but hey thats revolution for you..

I fully support all forms of absurd and curious experimentation, provided that you don't harm yourself or others [&:]

Right now my friend is machineing a head (Hemi) and we think thats the only way it will work. We are trying to get sponsored by a company becuse we want this to be mainstream if it works, meaning all rc cars that are on the street and being sold in stores will come with our engine design hopefully. And if they dont we will machine thousands of heads and sell them to the public. but for now its in beta plus we have access to a 3d printer (look it up on ebay thats our cheap alternative future for parts).
