Wow I found this "revolutionary?!" savage. Its pretty cool how the engines are sideways. This is one cool custom job, unless some company makes this kit.

I bet that gobbles the nitro. Two tanks needed.
Its good how they have the heatsink's on the side that'll cool it down a good deal.
 
Actually, if you think about it, dealing with the fuel problem is probably the least of that guys worries. I think getting all the linkages right and all of the fuel tubing and pressure and everything must be a bitch to get right.
 
Very high "cool factor", but there is such a thing as a point of diminishing returns. A really awesome idea is to scale up the savage by say 50% with that power setup. But that would cost a fortune to custom machine the parts.

The fuel system may (should) have a perry pump for each engine, and not rely solely on exhaust pressure, or run 2 tanks.

Tuning shouldn't be difficult, just time consuming. Tune 1 engine by temp with the other dead, then tune #2 to the first by sound.
 
I'm assuming something like that should give you hella tourque. But I dont think the top speed would be affected too much. I mean, just cause you have 2 engines dont make more RPMs.

But I guess you could just put some tall ass gearing on it (cause you have so much tourque) and that would give you higher top end.

Ok I'll shut up now.
