What is the verdict on the newer 4 cycle Toro single stage blowers? Are they as good and powerful as the older two strokes?

I found a great application for SS. Put on a pair of ice skates then use your SS to propel you forward on the pond. You can go pretty fast.

That sounds like a new class of racing. Imagine the possibility of modding the snowblower and rubber paddles to get more speed and bite.

Heh. And in the Unlimited Class, V-6 rototillers with the tines replaced with circular saw blades for extra traction.

Who the hell let all the morning people run things?

i just need Borat's help controlling the thrust. Not sure if the GC160 can handle 6000rpm of abuse. I could care less if it blows up.

GC with an overhead cam should handle higher rpms. Push rod engines aren't quite as willing.
