Limping back home on one drive.
Leaving props and proshafts on the bottom of Lake Norman
Wondering...."Will it run all day?"

Money well spent, I'd say.

I agree....the Indy's are worth every penny then the money and woundering that comes with the bravo's....

135 is a big number for that Cat...plus with the service you get with Ilmor.....you can rest easy and go have fun....

Congrats on the new package....

Wouldn't have happened w/o your behind the scenes assistance pushing the Gen3 retrofit project development forward.
