At the moment, I suspect you do.
Edit: Actually, I'm being a jerk. Sorry the engine let go. It's funny (not your situation, but the twisted reality) you can extract a lot of horsepower from these things, but like having one's cake and also eating it, you can't use it. I know next to nothing about quantum mechanics but I vaguely remember some property of particles that observing them makes them unfindable. (somebody help me here). In our case the engine can make a whole lot of power, but if you explore that power, the engine vanishes.
I am now convinced that the stock engine is just fast enough for this old man.
