I have a few questions
-What time does BigW shut?
-Would the Rego Authourity care if you had two leaf blowers in the boot with pipes running to the carby?
-What is the spool up time for a leaf blower?
-Would you just leave them idling in the boot whilst cruising? (Just in case someone wants to run you off the traffic lights)

5:30, probably, about 1 second, yes.

remember leaf blowers exhaust out the blow bit to....so your getting pre burnt fuel through there....

also if this was done on a carby motor it would run lean ass unless you tuned for it.

yes i was thinking that, if you ran the blowers a bit rich it would help. also oil up your valve seats lol. but yeah, two strokes usualy don't burn half the fuel that goes through them. thats why they smoke so damb much. i'd still be experimenting on a dyno wiht a co sencor if i was to do it....that said i wouldent try it. i can think of better ways to get boost in there.
