Twin charger project?

[mr.utility at highstream.net (David Utley)]

Cory,
  If I were you, I would ignore the man.  He poo-pooed your idea, with few 
specifics that were helpful.  While I can respect his point of view, I write 
to you directly for two reasons: One, he and I have had a few debates, with 
little resolved, and Two, I think your idea is doable, with specific good 
gains that are only achieveable by this means...  Find that Turbo mag, and you 
will see what I am talking about...

Hope that helps,

Regards,
David Utley
