Axapowell,

No I guess it isn't your old one. There isn't any custom work on this one. Just the way it came from Formula.

Had it out this weekend and got 63gps with 4 people in it. Last year it was around 55gps with 4 people so a great improvement. I was running a michigan wheel 14 3/8 x 21 ballistic prop. I really need more prop to get more top end. Thinking with a laser 2, 23 pitch I should run 65-66.

Got a new top speed number last weekend.

Went out with a buddy, low fuel and cool temps (Upper 40's). Hit 67.5 gps with the LT4 cam vortec 350 I built and a 23 pitch laser II. Had a little current (about 1.5 mph) so it is an honest 66 mph. In warm weather and normal load I hit 63-65.

The cold air really made a difference. Took it home and winterized it.
