You're a tease man,Although it would be far-fetched to actually get one of these to work in a truck,
nevertheless I wanted to share the following -- the big brother V12 version really
sings a snappy song:

We are so used to today's high output/low rpm diesels that it's easy to think that
they can only work in that mode. And I realize that a 2-stroke sounds like a 4-stroke
revving twice as fast. And that a V12 sounds the same as a V8 with it's crank spinning
50% faster. So the rpm at the crank doesn't really match the promise of the sound track.
Nevertheless, the sound track is cool & unique. And it's throttle response is impressive. And finally,
it's 100% mechanical. No spark ignition, no computer, no closed loop, no electrical. (Even more
so with the compressed air starter. :0)
Fun thread!
PS: I always liked the poppers on top of the exhaust on the old trucks, ever since I was a kid...
You know my laptop speakers don't work,I'll find it on my sillyphone!
