My blower moters trade fell thru so I got my supercat engines back and bought a set of polished carbed Whipple 3.3's W/ coolers and 1050 dominators to go on top of those supercat engines. We are going to start with 850 HP but can up them to 900 HP if needed. We will be adding a set of blower pistons.

KC,

I bet that cat would run purdy good with those supercats without blowers, at least until you get it dialed in and get bored driving it.

Also I know a good spot for those blowers

Rich, We talked about it and quessed a 100 mph with the un blown supercats but we all know how boring that would be in a Cat so here we go. Bob has the supercat torn apart getting ready for new pistons and cams. will get used to blown 509's then if we get bored we ease up to blown 565 CID.

Going to be a nice ride when it's done and I bet it will have a whole lot less pucker factor at 125 than the V did at 95.

I got the cd player working and found the Eagle's Long Road to Eden in it you want me to drop it in the mail to you?

We've probably have only added about 35 hours of run time to the meters, might be easier to track by how many tanks of fuel. Getting most of the minor bugs worked out and put new props on a few weeks ago. Made a night and day difference after taking the Hydromotives off and replacing with Bravo's.

The Velocity crew is supposed to be in Clearwater Oct 1-4th for the offshore races and poker run. Hoping I can get lucky and get one of the guys to take a ride with me and see what they can wring out of her.

That's good. I'm going to guess around 86 if she propped right and running loose You will learn a lot if you can arrange that meeting. Good luck.
