We've changed a few things with great results. 110mph, mid day at 4000' corrected elevation.
(Still considered mild with plenty left???)
Thanks again WG and Greg Shoe!

Sweet, and I thought our engine has a lot of stuff hanging off of it. ;)
At least you have had time for testing, we haven't got jack $hit done in that department.
See you there.

Djd,
Yes, it's Shoe's garage. (Seems like we spent the better part of last weekend in it). Greg's been a big help in getting the boat to perform like it does.
Thanks again for the complements.

It is all about how much money. Speed is no concern, the faster the better like
everyone else.

Evidently there "Slick Willy" my knowledge of abbreviations must be failing me here as of late!...if i were more in tune with the whole Performance engine building process of the modern day engine builders, i may have figured out what WG means or shoudl i say who WG is.
I guess Wayne is on the out here as well?
Twitchy Bastard....out!
Wayne Gaskamp built the engine, i believe its his personal engine out of his race car. its the cleanest motor I have ever seen.

Who built the motor?
A family friend named Wayne Gaskamp. He builds motors for the Super Comp / Top Eleminator guys and really knows his $hit. This is one of his test motor to see what changes to make with ours.
Might even see a WG powerplant in a tunnel soon..?:rolleyes: .

Of course you wouldn't do that to your customers, would you??? I heard you've got a job for some jet boat guy thats been on your azz to get, so I'm assuming your putting everything on the back burner till thats done, right? (just kidding).... Yeah Billy, bring your flat and come hang out with us. If your towing from Needles, call me and we can drive down together on Sat.

Let me guess, that little more then 750 is at 4000 rpm right? :D
I think the closest thing to the truth in that post is you have a 100 shot to pull skiers. Haha
