For my first weird and radical idea-
I was just poking around Jameco and saw these pressure sensing resistors. The first thing I thought of was a way to measure torque. Imagine building a bellhousing that is split. and in the split you put these pressure sensing resistors that could measure the amount of torsional force exerted between the engine and transmission. This way there would be an accurate method of measuring the engine's output at all times during normal operating conditions!
What do you all think?
