Actually engines are about 75%-85% effiecient, N/A, and up to 120% or more efficient with forced induction.

Don't you also have to have different compression to run off of hydrogen? I'd think you'd have to change your entire setup of your engine (intake, timing, spark, internals? etc) to make it actually work well. I know that BMW is running a bunch of 7 series off of pure hydrogen combustion on the V12 models, but they are only making barely half the HP that the gas combustion models run. So I guess when it says you'll "boost power" and shit, that's a fucking lie.
