Paul, I think you are referring to John Bjorkman's Lakester.  They use the
back two cylinders from a KB Hemi, and I believe each has it's own blower.
I have seen it go 174 (I think) at El Mirage.  Started as a two wheeler,
then a four wheeler, now a six wheeler.  Has a Harley sound, but really
pulls hard.  Jerry
