It was research that duel headers, and duel exhaust was the norm with cars.[0006] It could not be balance with motor on one side due to car differential that spends both wheels. We concluded that duel motors was needed to balance the motion and weight forward. This is know as 4x4 All Wheel Drive,[0007] The motor is a high amp motor which handle the stress of weight without burnout. It was needed a method to control the current to motion like a gas peddle .
