Very cool
If that ad is accurate it would equate to:
3.84 HP / C.I. on race gas
or
4.94 HP / C.I. with nitrous

Two strokes can make more HP than a 4-stroke when normally aspirated :clap:

Then again a TF car makes somewhere between 16 - 20 HP / C.I. with a blower and nitro
Don't think that's been done with a 2-stroke; yet

Keep this information away from Mark D.

Or better yet, tell him. :lol:

I've got to find the pictures of a sled that would do tuning at our local drag strip durning the fall
Purpose built, 3-cylinder, 2-stroke, ran with the treads cut off the track, slight water cooling and tiny urethane wheels under the skis.
People laughed, it had a rope start, then it ran low 9's
Amazing what smart guys with chunks of aluminum can do.

Strap one of these on and throw it into a custom built frame.
Who's in? :P

Last night I was looking up 2 stroke engines and one for Artic Cat came up. 800cc, 2 cylinder and 160hp. So how could I get a
gearbox on that thing and put it in a triple :D

Would you use a Harley primary and mate it to the 6 speed that way and use a Harley clutch?
