The size and eff. of the turbos and intercooler is the main issue. All the ones I've done run ice water intercoolers.

Re: Miami Show TMP1600
We have been working with several companies to develop engines that raise the bar. Two years ago, everyone swore that you couldn't make big power with a hydraulic roller. Now we're doing over 1400 that lives for 100+ hrs. These new engines are our latest attempt to better the sport by offering bigger more reliable HP. The boat will campaign around the country with these engines, where they will be put to the test. The majority of the components are prototype, but have yielded awesome results so far. We're not trying to compete with anyone but ourselves. We do this because we love the sport. The same reason all of you do it, and we commend, not criticize those who are doing the same.
