baja 27, we both have labbed 30 bravos. They are reworked slightly different though. Do you still have revlimiters at 5150rpm, or was that modified with the procharger install? What props are you running now? You are welcome to try my 30s, but you will have to be able to turn at least 5400-5500 rpm to run over 90mph. Just let me know . Good luck.

To the wood & PPlay 33 I run 31 bravos now at 5,500 rpm so far I get 90. I looking to get 92-94 mph out of her. I also have different cams in the motor, it's basically a hp500 motor with prochargers. I'm also thinking about about running more boost. Currently I run 4 pounds, thinking about bumping it to 6psi? What do you guys think? The motor is studded also.

baja27, you should be able to run more boost easily. The procharger setup should be intercooled, so it will be safe. I would like to go for a ride just to compare it to the other ones I have been in. Keep plugging away at it, you should get that speed!
