Put both together, and you have a perfect car. I might put a smaller turbo on the front engine....but its not something that is a big deal....turbo or no, I'd build it for one either way....I can't help but play with the engines I have around. I'd probably try 16 different configs.

But 1500 pounds, 600HP (total), 50mpg freeway. sounded pretty good to me....
