fumes

Ok guys a friend of mine works with Mack truck in a test facility he was telling me about the new turbo system there using to get rid of the tell tale Mack truck cloud of black smoke. They are using a multiple turbo setup that actualy reburns the extremly rich fumes produceing huge power and better gass milage than ever. I wonder if somthing like this would work on a worked up 7 where there is a lot of unburned fuel in the exhaust. Im not sure of the exact system so dont ask how it works cuz i don't know. Just a thought let me know what ya think.

Don't think your on the same page either. This system takes the exhuast and sents the unburned portin back through another turbo and back into the combustion chamber. well that what i understud it to do.

think about the torque if it makes 1500hp at only 800rpm... its got *gets calculator out* 9847 lb-ft of torque at 800 rpm. Somethings wrong here, i think one of your figures is off.... did you mean 1500lb-ft torque at 800 rpm??
