Default RE: 4 stroke boat and nos

Oh yes, forstrokes can make as much power as piped two strokes. Check out this video of two similar planes, one piped two stroke and a YS120 (supercharged fourstroke) :

The whining high rpm twostroke never chatches up with the grunty fourstroke, it`s all about using the right prop, the power is definately there, only at lower rpm.

I own two YS engines, one .63 and the 110, they are brutale beasts[>:]

Edit: It was a 120, not a 110 as I first wrote
