Abel told me he is now getting 1200 HP out of his turbo 3 rotor. 400 HP

per

rotor!!! He said he has 30 pulls on the dyno and over sixty over 180 MPH
drag runs and the engine has not been apart yet. That is phenomenal!
Most piston engines can make only a few runs in this class.

This brings up a question that I think I already know the answer to, but
will run
it past the experts anyway.  How realistic is it to expect 350 *reliable* hp
out of
a 2 rotor?  This is going in a homebuilt, so a tricked out screamer isn't
what we're
looking for.  Is a 3 rotor w/turbo the only reliable route to take, as I've
come to
suspect?

Thanks,
Bob

I think so. I don't think you will ever see that kind of power NA.
Don't forget the difficulties of cooling 350 HP both water and oil.
