Setright makes the same point in his book "Some Unusual Engines": As you increase the boost provided by a turbo you increase the energy available in the exhaust gasses til you reach the point when the exhaust turbine is producing more power that the pistons. At this point it becomes logical to swap their function and let the pistons drive the input compressor and the turbine power the wheels. The only danger being that at this point you are liable to lose the pistons altogether and invent the gas turbine which is maybe not what you intended.

​@@doktorbimmer You could put the spike muffler cuttings on the engine nacelle if you're worried about the exhaust, or you can fan the exhaust. Or if its in the front, using a thrust tube for bypass flow will result in lower velocity at the edge of the flow (less abrupt change near the static air outside) as well as giving you a little more efficient thrust assuming low bypass ratio turbofan or turbojet. Most jets are not crazy loud, at least modern ones. The old ones are terribly loud (the ones with low bypass ratio below 1.7), the new high bypass engines like the Pratt&Whitney "Ultra high bypass" turbofans, which are much more efficient (over 12:1 bypass).

From what I understand, theoretically you could indeed use an afterburner, at least of a sort since it wouldn't be an "after"burner but more like a "dump multiple times more fuel after the compressor to add some more power" system, but you'd have to make sure that both the free turbine that directly drives the wheels and the wastegate (aka gas redirector that serves as a wheel output power throttle controller) can handle the suddenly very high temperatures in excess of 1600 Celsius as opposed to the regular 600 Celsius, not to mention the copious amounts of waste heat and flames now shooting out of the exhaust (of which also suddenly generates a lot of thrust force as well). And if the engine has thermal regenerators similar to what the Chrysler Turbine used, those too would need to be built to handle the high temperatures.

Since this is running on what I assume is regular race gas the turbine does not make crazy amounts of power probably around 800ish my uncle has a jet car that runs on kerosene instead of jet fuel it loses about 30-40% of its power but it still does the 1/4 in 6 seconds :P
