I haven't flown in a few weeks. As mentioned I was not developing proper bo=
ost. Even though I have the weakest spring installed (a 1.5 lb. I had previ=
ously misstated it was a 3lb) so do not expect much boost, my manifold pres=
sure was not getting past the low 20's in flight.=20
I was using a very cheap EBay intercooler that seemed to flow well on the b=
ench but was not working when applied. I have spent the last few weeks diog=
nosing, testing and moving thing around so to use the factory Mazda interco=
oler (quite the strange overall shape). I got it installed over the last fe=
w days and buttoned up the cowl last night.=20

I seem to be getting crazy power now as the brakes had trouble holding. Low=
 30 lb range in MP. Okay, maybe not crazy power but a noted improvement.=20

I am working evening shift now and getting off work at 11:00 pm so it may b=
e a few days until I am able to get my butt out of bed early enough before =
work to try flight six. I tend to stay up until around 4am when working thi=
s shift and sleep until about noon. It does allow uninterrupted time in the=
 hangar after my shift to work on the plane. While I dont usually mind folk=
s stopping by it just rarely happens at 2 am ;-)
