Compiled Dynos, I was bored

I hadn't heard anything about the torque that @martym52 mentioned, but it's possible. I did hear about the 3000 cc class limit he mentioned, since it runs 2 Rocket motors.

Being kind of a tech. nerd and reading about the streamliner early on, I read about the difficulties of laying power down on the salt. Changing the bore would have decreased displacement, but de-stroking was the answer because you can't throttle up below 200 mph when the ground effects from aerodynamics start to come into play.

With enough money and time, right ? Wouldn't you have a small transmission that would be behind the engine that would be solely for the reverse, and then have a shorter drive shaft ?

And who knows, maybe it was an option for his trike the original owner didn't choose, and just a matter of taking it back to them ?

Just thinking out loud, the bigger the machine, the more important the reverse. I know the big BMW has reverse, I could be wrong but thought I saw a Goldwing one time with reverse.
