They are going to check the pick ups in the tanks, I hope thats the problem, that would be an easy fix if they are accessable. Oh yeah, we had to buy a new truck on the way home from Hartwell Saturday evening........The turbo blew and I said F$$$ THIS so we traded it in blown up!!! Love it so far Jon.......havent got to put many miles on it though....ha ha....

a couple of years ago i drove jerry sorintino's 35 fountain. i think it was a 97 or 98 single step with about 650 horse that teague setup. it ran just shy of 100 and was just as rock solid as my 38. i would love to see how a 35 with 900 horse would run

There was some people who said it was too much and others said you could put more, but it felt great @ 115 MPH. It didnt do anything crazy and felt perfectly as if it was 90 MPH. I feel it will do a solid 120 MPH when then fuel problem is resolved. I also sent my props back, I was running 31 P5X's. Im going with 30 P5x's to get the RPM up a little higher. The motors dont make 900 HP until around 5800 RPM, so thats what im after.

I just allways shifted in the down cycle on mine.But mine would not idle smooth below 1000. It surged from 600-1300.

Congrats on the speed , post some picks
