I installed the revolutions Brett sent me. Here's the numbers:

3000 rpm = 35 mph
3500 rpm = 42
4500 rpm = 55 WOT

The hole shot is still excellent and I can trim it waaaaay out now.

Unfortunately, after my first run my port engine puked. I think I blew a head gasket or it jumped time. Bummer.

Brett, I'll call on Monday to get your opinion.

Brett and I spoke today and while the numbers with the Revolutions are terrific, I'm going to try a set of Bravo 1s to see how they do.

Brett is incredibly knowlegable and takes the time to talk through everything with you.
