A hydraulic pump will be installed on the driveshaft that will pump fluid into a high pressure nitrogen filled tank during braking and that will allow you to store energy during braking to be used on take-off. It is said to result in 25-30% improvement in fuel mileage. Now that's pretty slick! ------------------ '70 Mustang Mach 1 M code 351C 4V/FMX/3.25 open '72 Mustang Sprint Coupe 351C 4V/FMX/4.30 Trac Lok '94 F-150 XL 5.8L/E4OD/3.55 Limited Slip MCA Member # 47773 "Doubt is not a pleasant condition, but certainty is absurd." - Voltaire IP: Logged
