Came across this forum and posts by Bluechipx about his real world experience with this subject while searching the web. Am building a turbo 2-stroke for Bonneville. Would be interested in hearing from anyone else with real world dyno verified experience on the subject. Been racing 2-strokes since '67.

There is an excellent book called Tuning for Speed by Phil Irving.
 
I have encountered a vertically oriented hydraulic cylinder that is designed to actuate and slice heavy cabling into sections with a blade. The cylinder is quite small (around 1.5 inches in diameter) and has an equally small stroke. The cylinder is single acting (i.e. it is pressurized from the bottom, and vented to atmosphere with a spring return, roughly 200lbs of force on the spring). The system operates at roughly 2500 psi. Interestingly, the cylinder has a pin that passes through its...
