Interesting video on early turbos, "hemi honker," "turbo honker"

Gotta love Brian Lohnes. He is a masterful story teller and one of the greatest announcers NHRA has ever had. His channel is good listening.
 
I think an issue of Hot Rod magazine from 5-10 years ago mentioned this but super cool to see a full video on it. 40+ psi and 140mm turbos, insane! Nowadays we know just one of those would be plenty for a 426 Hemi but they were treading new ground back then. Definitely looks like something that would be built by someone who worked at an aircraft company.
