Be sure to use marine grade plywood or it will never last

I have a copy of the dyno sheet here. Actually we never did see the HP peak. But, at 6000RPM, they made 964HP. At 6500RPM, 985HP. The torque was outstanding though, from a 522ci engine.

Mark, with a Littlefield 10-71 and blower shop intercooler, the air intake temps were about 110-113* in the intake manifold. Going from 6lbs of boost to 10lbs, there was almost no change in temps.
