just went on trial run,
two people 200lbs each and close to full fuel tank
Ambient temp 89deg
Doug was keeping tabs on instrument readings
and engine while I drove
the bad:
prop is a bit big,needs more fuel and leans
out and dies sometimes just off idle
and stopping from speed
the good:
went from 69.8 to 78mph..
Midrange acceleration is brutal,
if you hit it too hard it will blow away
the five blade Hydromotive!

First run after installing supercharger. Doug was taping the gauges as well for reference for tuning later. Hit 78mph on this run. Should run a bit more once we get fuel pressure and prop worked out.
