- I remember reading, a lot of years ago, that Smokey Yunick was
- experimenting with an engine where the intake air was heated to
- somewhere around 250 degrees Fahrenheit. This engine also had
- a turbocharger which Yunick referred to as a "homogenizer"; it
- produced only about 1-2 PSI boost. He was apparently trying for
- extremely high gas mileage.
