Update:
First motor is broke in. Eddie is now doing Driveability tests from 2000RPM-4500RPM. Said all was good during break in. After drivability tests he will do some pulls....naked. He told me he usually has the "throttle" in one hand and a picture of Dean in the other.....you can draw your own conclusions.

Just a quick update.
We finished the drivability. Everything worked great. We attempted to make an easy pull to only 5800 rpm. However, it rapidly ran out of fuel pump. With less than 7 psi of boost and only 5800 rpm, it still managed to make over 950 hp. We are headed back on the dyno in the am with a Weldon pump so we can pull it to where it needs to be.....about 6200-6300 rpm. I was trying an Aeromotive Eliminator pump. They have an Aeromotive A1000 in the boat now. The Eliminator is quite a bit larger than the A1000, so there is NO way the pump in the boat is even close to being large enough. I'm sure that contributed to some problems in the past.
I'll keep you guys posted as we make some pulls.
