Default Had a great ride today!!!

Took a ride from Stony Pt down to the City. Motor ran great!!! 55 mph @ 3700 rpm Ran WOT for a few short bursts. Hit 85.5! Man that Whipple SCREAMS over 5000 rpm. You should have seen the look on my buddies face the first time I opened it up!!!

I need to tinker with water pressure. 12 lbs at WOT, looking to get 15+.

All in all the motor didn't miss a beat. Very happy!!

I don't know how much HP, but only picked up 5 mph so far. I think I'll be able to squeeze out a few more with the right prop.
