Thanx both of you -- I knew I could count on you both.  Just wanted to get it done.

Trent, Buddy sent me two video clips to post -- but before I try that -- are they (probably) the one or two that are already up?  The fist frame looks the same to me and I won't put it up if it's just a duplicate.

In the meantime -- unh, mmm, did I guess pretty danged close or what? :cheers: :cheers:

Buddy and Dale,

Best of luck on the dyno. Anyone willing to take a guess at the HP this beast will make. My guess is 550-600 HP depending on boost.

Tom G.

Buddy and Dale,

Congratulations I never had a doubt about the HP numbers, as that is the easy part. Keeping the motor together for the runs required is another story. You have all the HP you need, now just concentrate on reliability and you will set a lot of records. I am very happy for you, it has been a great journey so far, I wish you the best at Bonneville this year.
