Fixed the steering Ram got the system bled and working (Thanx for the tip Dan) and of course the other ram started leaking shortly after.. figures.
Did some tuning got her on plane but I have some tuning issues to figure out with the port engine.
Tried experimenting with the vent tubes, (more or less air) but They seem to short, under way water is getting in.

With the drives completely tucked she runs about the same boost as the 5s level.
I raise the 6s to level and she unloads. speed and rpm come up fast and she takes off , I`ll have to check my logs but it looked like much less boost than Im used to .. pulleys are the same from last year .

The tab pumps aren`t cooperating , I get to a certain level and it wont go down anymore . May not be strong enough

I figured out how much extra material I needed and had my buddy make a "wedge" weld it all up then had it all repowder coated.
