Hey Mark;
When Tracy and I first started
talking about this, he figured we were good for 400 HP at take-off. We're
just going that extra horsepower for reserves.....(:-) We have an
adjustable waste gate, and will be "experimenting " with different spring sizes,
once on the dyno.

Greg,
Sounds like you're making good progress. The scoop is too
cool.
I'm curious, have you discussed with Tracy running that much HP through
his gearbox? Is he OK with it? I'm building a P-port 20B which
ought to produce approx. 375 hp and would be interesting in
hearing what he had to say.
Can't wait to see the dyno video!

intercooler lines, block-off plates, throttle linkage mounts, fittings for
oil, water, etc. new pulleys, alternator mounts, coil mounts, and a host of
other stuff to make the engine work. The plate mount at the oil pan
did not match up exactly, along with the oil pickup, extensive modification
there. Had to build a separate mount at the flex plate to fit on the
dyno, because Tracy's was configured differently, but Tracy's will end up on
the final redrive setup. And on and on. We are very near
finishing the mount frame to adapt the engine to the dyno, and then all
hell will break loose. i will try to get a video up to show the first
runs, and charts when we are on dyno. The scoop was a major pain in
the a.., because of the mathematics, but will hopefully work well.
Either way, we feel it looks good......say, around 450 H.P. at take
off. O.K. Tracy???

Finally
in the new hanger. Finishing hydraulics. Waiting (patiently)
for the engine. Scoop, radiator, oil cooler in place and pressure
tested.
