Tyson you look like you have spent too much time in Michigan. You are out there testing in a Skater T shirt while everyone else in the boat is bundled up with jackets and hats. Do you have the seat heater on?lol

Thanks for sharing your build.

The last time I was testing in Michigan it was 29 degrees out and sleeting/raining on us, and we had a 45 min idle back to the dock after we already had a 100 MPH wind chill while we were wet. It was pretty cold. Out here even tho we were in the mountains it was mid 30's degrees nice sunny day with no humidity, it really was not cold at all, with me in the boat I had a winter coat, insulated coveralls, scarf, face mask, several hats, gloves and did not need any of them.

It was definitely a different view then I have ever seen at 90 mph.

From post 1540: When we ran the highest tune it was running along and you could tell it had a lot more power but right after we got up and going the studs broke and let the turbo lift up a little bit so it was dropping boost and making a lot of smoke so we stopped.

Buddy, when you get this thing dialed in it's gonna be a bad b!tch. Bottom line.

Absolutely stunning pics and video. How are you feeling about the progress? I realize you still need to do a TON of testing etc but when is the best time of year to make your run around the world? I'm in awe of this entire project.

the best time of year to go around the world is spring time so we won't make it this year. Hopefully this spring we can start doing some shorter endurance runs and be ready next year.
