Testing for Bakersfield

[Squirtin Thunder]

Being I only get about 45min before dark at my test site it is taking lots of time. But it is close and I have the support of the Bullhead PD if anything goes wrong.
I will be testing today out at Rotory Park at about 7pm.
Ok got some GPS results from about 15 minutes ago.
These are for Jim's Squirtin Thunder boat
Any questions about motor and set up ask him, I was just watchin the RPM's vs. MPH in the passenger seat.
3000= 23.5mph
4000= 41.5 mph
5000= 67.5 mph
That was with the B- impeller in the Sanger Custom Sprint and with two people.
There is alot of other info that will not be posted that we are learning and testing. Our Parker 300 setup will be tested in a few weeks. We still have to install our new pan and the oil cooler, as well as our new High Flow Dynamics Oil Pump. We will also be testing our HillBilly 429 just incase the the engine gives before or at Parker.
Anyone that wants to come out and watch is more than welcome.

well, I think you need to adjust it down a little ways.

[Ralph Brunt]

yep looks high to me

[sleekcrafter]

well, I think you need to adjust it down a little ways.
Time for a T-Ram and 2 inch carb spacers and K&N Velocity stack aircleaners, then you can be 1' 8" above that. Bend the rules :D

This guy just would not leave me alone and kind of interfered with testing. I was just trying to warm the engine up before any passes.
Warming up (http://video.tinypic.com/player.php?v=61wl8pi)
So I figured we could chop up the water a bit to make it more like actual race conditions.
Choppin it up (http://video.tinypic.com/player.php?v=4umo674)
Thanks for the advice to drop the Trail down guys, dropped it 2*, wow what a difference.
Lower Tail (http://video.tinypic.com/player.php?v=4xmp2xk)
This guy had a bad ass BBC in a Haskel/Shoester/Tahiti 19'er.
Runnin the chop (http://video.tinypic.com/player.php?v=5ybv8m1)
Now this was a Bad Ass Laveycraft Tunnel with a Factory special build racing motor 2.5L Merc making 305+HP.

Sorry the testing has been postponed do to a special race this Sunday at Bakersfield, yes the NJBA is letting the Nostalgia Jet class run 2 heats. So I have had to do some quick prep and hold off on a few test items till after the race. I will get back after it in the next week or so.
