I would like to see it . does sound like the slip#s are to good to be true. bring it to a radar run and show us and we will all be very impressed with it

His slip numbers work out to be about 11% which is not all that great. I just cant see a 300 promax put up those kind of numbers, unless he is running the simon 335hp setup.

This was a great thread. What kind of numbers have been put up with 300xs setups? Any updates?
