I have been thinking about your 2 engine car since I read your post. One quick question---You didn't use 2 smartech engines did you? If that's the case that os 18tz-tx would still have you beat. I think the stock Smartech engine only has .85hp with a max of 28,000rpms. The 18tz-tx has 1.8hp with a max rpm of 34,000. So with 2 smartech engines you would have 1.7hp but it would still have the 28,000rpm limit. I'm not saying it's a bad idea, I just hope you didn't go with the stock engines. The best way to do it would be to find an engine with around 1hp but good to around 40,000rpms. If you do the math the stock smartech can pull 30mph at max rpm. so if you divide rpms by mph it comes up to around 933rpms=1mph. So the OS would have you by at least 6mph with the stock gearing. Just a thought....
