It sure kicks ass on a gas turbine though. 55,000 hp at the generator
coupling.
It takes an electric 500 hp motor to spin it up.

                  Nope, I didn't see any dyno numbers or anything, but he
did say it showed
                up as a 40 degree drop on his EGT. From reading his page
and the home page
                of the manufacturer, it does sound as if it probably
wouldn't be much
                benefit to a naturally asipirated engine; seems like its
mostly meant
                to prevent detonation under boost.
