Exactly, but word of caution on the older RAM's (like year 2000 or so) - These had the manual start box and the ECU used case pressure to control the speed, not true RPM sensing like current turbines. Some people would take a 750 and use a 1000 ECU causing their own self destruction. There were even a couple scam artists trying to sell a used "1000" that was really a 750 with a 1000 ECU.

750 max CP of 1600 Mbar = 21.3 lbs of thrust (approx 120k RPM)
1000 max CP of 1900 Mbar = 28 lbs thrust

Sorry if I went off topic on older RAM info - just nice to remember times when people had to actually know what they were doing - not like today where the ECU does it all and people have no clue when something goes wrong & how to troubleshoot.
