Run high 8s with ONE bolt-on? yes it has been done!

Not new by any means, but there are probably a lot of people who have never heard of this ancient and AWESOME device.

Its makes me proud to be an american!

I remember reading about that twenty years ago in Hot Rod, and that was a reprint from 20 or so years before that. Cool concept, not so good in real life.

I remember a while back seeing one of these on ebay. If I remember corectly it went for a pretty good price. Pretty neat concept if you ask me.

Yeah, I love the idea. Now if this had been in F&F insted of NAWS, they would have had something and the boost that NAWS gives them would have been about right. Also, after the movie every little retard ricer would have died in a horrible mile-long fireball.

"Turbonique provide all kinds of helpful application suggestions -- rocket propelled boats, snowmobiles, motorcycles, hovermobiles, and my favorite, the unshielded rocket turbine prop go kart."

One unshielded rocket turbine prop go kart PLEASE.

I still like the Hayabusa motor in a shifter cart. Power to weight at it's finest.
