The jets seem to be a little fat because the spark plugs are really black, we're going to back the sizes down a few when we run...

Blown Motors, especially those with a conventional double rectangle Lower Discharge work better simply because in the regular situation (forward facing), because of the screw and Helix of the rotors they screw the Air to the front four cylinders, ever notice the New Fuel Dragsters ?. and how far back the blowers are moved ?, simple they are tring to balance airflow to the engines, turn the engine around, and you have inertial helping the...

And the little mounts that come with it are stout as hell, even the suction cup mount will have no problem...

rodney, i put the nozzles in my hat this weekend and i'm ready to do the preturb install. is there any certain distance from the inlet i need to be? i kinda like the idea of runnin no breather or filter, so i was thinking it'd be easy to drill and tap the inlet neck on the s480 for the nozzle.intercooler came in this mornin too, sob is huge!!! i'm sending it to my neighbor this afternoon to have the side tanks cut down on it and...

Permatex Ultra Copper or Ultra Black: http://www.permatex.com/products/Aut...sket_Maker.htm Both work great and I don't ever recall a blow-out even run after run on the Nos. Great stuff. Put a bead on and let it set-up a bit then bolt it down. S CP

Something that keeps coming up that is bothering me.... There is no way you can compare anything that a hydro does to that of a jet boat, even a tunnel bottomed jet acts differently than a hydro. A true hydro relies on tail lifting HP and reducing contact with the water, a jets goal in life is to keep the transome planted to remain hooked up, a tunnel bottom does this very, very well, and entrapment tunnels can even be made to work. As for the...

Think of the fuel he saved.LOL They have other rules for delaying the show. Since turbos are allowed in the brackets, someone needs to get one proven there, then get the rule changed. Tim tim, there's another rule right above this one that's aimed specifically at...

We see people all the time with big engines and bravos putting the throttles to the wall to get on plane, and as the prop starts to grab, they toast a drive. If you want to run big HP with a Bravo, you need to have patience getting on plane. Its like spinning tires on a car, and then all of a sudden they...

I know that doesnt sound reasonable, I'm just telling you...
