Yeah... He said there were all kinds of issues. I would have been chasing my tail trying to figure things out at the track.

I think his last words were something like, "Come and get this damn thing out of my way." :oops:

First pull only netted about 150 HP... :cry:


What was the best pull. I don't know Howard well, at all, but I bet he wasn't satisfied with 150hp. :wink: :wink:

I think someone is pulling someones leg somewhere! :D Pretty sure we are looking at a horsepower number closer to double that. Mine is close to 275hp, give or take, according to the calculators. So I'm 100% sure 150 was not the final number. I'm sure Rob will spill the beans on what he really has. :D :D

I've been stationed at Fort Knox TWICE! I've learned a thing or two about OPSEC (Operational Security).

The first pull really was in the 150 range... and the engine/set up did have a lot of issues... and Howard was NOT pleased with that...

Hence the statement about me coming and getting that damn thing out of his way...

He said he'll give me all the notes and dyno sheets when I get there Monday...

I would guess he really had to lean it out.

That's what they had assumed as well with the new Waterman pump. However, they discovered that was not the case.

There were other issues throughout that contributed to the overall yuckiness of things, to include an issue with the pill port. It has a quick-change pill holder in it now.

MSD box checked out OK. All the wire connectors are replaced. There's a 7000 chip in there now & Howard told me I'm gonna hafta stop bein' skeered of RPM. :shock: :lol:

"Hell! You ain't even usin' half that engine's power shiftin' it where you do!" :lol: :lol:

I turn mine 7K in the water all the time. Downtrack it gets shifted at 6300 because that's where it quits going faster.

Howard said it was still making power when they called it quits. I'll know more once I see the dyno sheets.

I will say that if it didn't go north of 300 you might as well toss it in a dumpster.
