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.

Yup its me.....I also talked to the engine shop that dynoed and tuned my motors, he is going to try and get some of the surge out of them.

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 :drink:
