I disagree. I lose 12-15% of the engine when I add the second one and I lose another 15% (or more) for each engine thereafter, up to about 8 or 9 engines. Going from a 308 to a 309 adds only about 300 MIPS when an engine is (nominally) 450 MIPS. That to me is more than "almost" not worth figuring. Unless you like losing 1/3 of an engine? - -teD 300,000 Kilometres per Second Not only is it a good idea!
