I hope so. At this stage I'm still sorting her out. She's not making big power yet. :(

Man that runs smooth..........................no video's on a run?

You look at that motor from the back, it looks like a normal aircooled unit.

Nice work.

I finally go my boost pipe back! It took almost two months!

But here she is

I took out the T section and installed this more free flowing Y pipe. Friday she will go onto the dyno again for some final tuning. :D Can't wait.

Thank you. The Y pipe I did not build myself. Some one else built it for me. :)
