Im gonna bring some pulleys tomorrow that will make 14psi. You'll see something happen alright when you push those throttles down! It will be a fun 30 seconds. Then we'll play dumb on that and call Kris to help us put some pistons in. lmao

On a more serious note, we'll get here going. You have all the ingredients, just need some fine tuning. Prob same for tommy.

I can tell ya a couple years ago when I first installed the 250 blowers on my engines, initial run on the river I saw 66mph on GPS. I almost puked. By the end of that summer, with some tuning, props, etc, it ran 83mph before I put in away for storage. No bs.

Awesome!!!!!! I have those 17x29 4 Blades cleavers you can try also if you want.

Im happy for you man. Thats a number to be proud of! Those round ears just might be the ticket. Carry that nose higher out of the water and get that beak up in the air

Godd dammit though. I wanna spend a lot more time in racine next year with you guys, really liked it there. Looks like im gonna have to step up my game to run with you guys though! Know anyone who wants some 468 shortblocks
