My pump gas big turbo keeps impressing me! Ran my 1320' personal best today of 152.5mph. Huge thanks to TD for supplying the power... The wizard John Weiss for help with tuning. We found a new combo today that shines. Can't wait to get more time on it. What a rush. Yamaha clutches, speed track, 93 octane with some boostane for safety.

Thank you Mike... Means alot coming from you!

The 150mph is impressive, no doubt. But equally (0r moreso) impressive are the hard charging numbers to support the incredible acceleration. Absolute Beast!!
Some guy claim alot, but don't support their claims, backed up with draggy results.
Not to mention, Redneck & Dirty hands should probably be giving you a call for advice, as their last attempts put them at 144.
Watching them struggle, shows me the difficulty in what you've accomplished.
Congratulations Derrick.

Thanks Doc. I started back in 2017 with a powertrail tune and then progressed from there to where I am today. People don't realize the work that has to be put in. I spend hours going over data logs, dragy logs, gearing calculators, pull clutches apart every week, check every bearing weekly, etc....

I've had alot of help over the years from some very smart people... Fleecer and I spend hours on the phone discussing setups, what worked, what didn't. I'm a sponge when listening to him. Wealth of knowledge. Mike Knapp has answered every question I've thrown his way. O deg C has been a big help and also has a wealth of knowledge and experience. My friend and truly a wizard when it comes to clutching John Weiss. He goes out of his way to help me reach my goals. This forum has been a great tool!

Figured it was time to upgrade. Hopefully not too big of a learning curve.

Seems like the STM is the clutch of choice for you top speed guys. Anyone run the tapp ?

Wow Derek working good! Loving your 1000ft speeds also! Finally have some snow this year for riding so been doing that but I must get out to the lake with you guys soon and play. My Cat is ready to go for a solid 140mph in 1320 stock turbo Max20 I hope.
