First off, That truck looks awesome. I have a question though:

Would it be possible to ttune one engine so that it is best on the low end, and the other so that it is best at high RPM, so that overall, you have high power through the entire range of RPM's. If you can, that would be pretty cool. It would have insane acceleariton (awesome power band).

Anywho, that is awesome.

Yeah, it is a New Era Models twin Savage kit I had for years as a shelf queen. I never really ran it because the CB clearances were horrible. To get this Savage road worthy, I had to cut sections out of the TVPs and drill holes to mount new support members (see the pics I initially posted, sorry, that was with my POS camera).

I have another JP-2 on the way; I opted for JP-2s because as it so turned out, those were the only JP exhausts they could get their hands on. I so wanted the JP-3s instead.

I dont know if simple tuning would do the trick, the RRs are meant to perform better at mid to higher RPM ranges by internal design and port configuration. But you do have a novel idea. To make it wourk, I guess having one engine designed for low end torque and another engine for high RPM performance might be the trick. However, both ngines might wind up competeing against each other on the spur gear.
