You're right on that Jarrett, but I think each
installation would be different. I know mine was. Clearances, heat,
cowling, horsepower requirements, flow bench testing, and a bunch of other
details about driving me nuts getting mine designed and fabricated, and I'm
still not quite there. If you've got a design that you feel works, how
about letting us all in on it, then we can judge, especially when it comes to
cost. Mistral's I heard was beautiful, but costly, probably more than I
spent for the entire engine, and as I said, no response from them, so I will
probably never know.

Greg this is why I've been interested in getting my own design
into production. It's an area which most DIY's could really
use
some help.. as far as I can see it..
