It takes several "Marginal gains" to add up to something of significance.
Even on our much larger engines we only see marginal gains from the current systems on the market.

I've been working on a development especially for our engines for several months now, because it has been clear to me for many moons that the sound and look are the most important characteristics of the current systems on the market.. Neither of these things are primary objectives for my engine program where effectiveness is paramount.

I see people spend 2K+ to make 2-5HP or even lose 20 HP with a certain system. A simple 200.00 crank pulley can easily give 10HP, but it doesn't add sound or isn't shiny.
