How much HP do you think those exhaust "cones" coming out of your turbine housings are worth?

depends on the rest of the exhaust system, but in general it does improve response and spool up.

does your exhaust piping meet anywhere or are the exhausts from each rotor completely isolated?

completely isolated, it is pretty cool...when the engine is running you can see each pulse alternate between pipes!!

BTW at 22 psi i am only getting 18 psi on the Backpressure side.

I don't understand why it's good to hvae it like that, like I said I need to do lots of research, but I was told that most race cars do things like that.
ah yes....ole Formula SAE car, how many hours more of design analysis will i devote

nice Marcus - i hope to one day have the time and $$ to do some experimenting and construct some custom setups as you have done....or maybe i'll get to fly jets instead

you going to be in Dallas anytime between 12 Dec and 1 Jan???
