Out on the lake testing right now. RPM is a bit off, lots more clutching/gearing to work through.

Snow is getting pretty sticky. Others are down MPH, looks like we're moving in the right direction.

Impressive

Snow is done for the day. We're making gains and still have lots left to test tomorrow.

148 MPH GPS on snow, stock 1.375" Cobra track.

Thanks Dave. This is a strong motor, and it's handling the boost quite well. Boost in the vid was about 20.5lbs, might take it up a few more today if I have to.

Wish I'd brought my air dam out, we're having a hard time keeping the nose down past about 130.

No creep BTW. My gauge didn't budge, and I was WOT for probably 15 seconds or more.

What type of distance are you running in 15 seconds? 2000 ft, 2500 ft, or 3,000 ft? 140+ mph is bookin' with a 1.375" track! Good job.

148 MPH is about 217 ft/sec. I rolled into the throttle from about 90 MPH and held it for what I'd guess was 10-15 seconds max. That would be somewhere between ~2200' and 4400'.

Track appeared to have held up OK from inspection at the end of the day. Idler wheels, not so much - they're all blown.
