wow ,great story,that thing is amazing,300 ton crank!!!
It's kind of lacking in horse power tho, It's 1/50th of the torque output.It would be like a car making 500 ftlb torque but only 10 hp,needs a roller cam + some better springs,for a little more rpm,maybe 112 rpm or so,get some top end out of it.
Ps,I'd go with a 12 foot,40 rpm lock-up converter,get it right in it's powerband.
