The gun I ran 97-98 and that could have used some prop work. If I kept the gun 100 could have been easy, because I was only running 5lbs with10-71s with intercoolers. But I sold it.

The playboy is great on gas, EFI, looks like stock 500s. The best part is with the added torque, I can run 53mph at 3200rpm. With the 5 blades. Just overall less maintenance. Less moving parts

not sure what the playboy would do with a little 1-2 footers to free it up. But turn key everyday low 90s is good for me.

Disregard my ugly air intakes....I put new ones on after I reinstalled the engines. I always crush them.

I too never spent a dime with Eddie. Spoke on the phone and messaged with him. Quick to answer and great to talk with.

Awesome numbers Kurt! Can't wait to see it run in person next year.
(Are you going to the 2018 ROPA run in Seneca again?)

I am VERY hard on them. I should be a product tester. If they can survive me, then they will survive anyone.
