Let me see what I have tonight. If I don't have it I'll call and see if they can leave it out for me at VP. I'll be driving right by them on the way up, but it'll be 4 or 5 in the morning.

Depending on what fuel you run I may be able to bring some with me for you. I can get anything VP sells. I definitely have C-16 and Q-16, and possibly some 110 and C-12 in stock in 5's.

Happy Birthday!:party: Sorry I haven't called you back yet. Will see you Friday at Wavedaze. :woot:

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!! :beerchug:

It will soon be a different package. I'm getting a new hull and mine is moving a couple of hours up I-65. Smartass....:rolleyes:

:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

The Original what? How can everything else be an imitation of a boat that hasn't even been released?:thinking:

This is from June 24 in the "Thumper" thread. Did you ever finish "crunching the numbers" on it? I'd be interested in seeing the prices for this and the other motor.:scratchchin:

I suspect you're gonna need BDD for this one........:wink:

That has happened in the past and may continue to, but because of past issues with this, more discretion been shown in the last couple of years. The problem with the test isn't that it's bogus, it's just pass/fail. A legal amount(trace) of lead allowed. The test used doesn't differentiate...

The safest thing to do is to get your builder to give you what he thinks is a safe Motor Octane recomendation for your setup. Most(not all) race gas motors will live on a Motor octane number of around 100 give or take if used in a freestyle boat. Compression ratio/psi# is only a part of the...

If the fuel test is a simple litmus type test it's easy to fail if you practice on lead. You're correct that the only safe way to be sure is to change all fuel system parts and clean the carbs before testing.

That's awesome! I like my XFT a lot. Sergio does good work.:cool:

I don't think he's his daddy anymore.......at least not according to Gil.......he told me he's had enough BDD to last him the rest of his life.....:smoker:

I was pretty emotionally torn up over his no show........:no:

I rode quite a few good running boats there this weekend. Steeldog's boat ran better than I've ever seen it. That thing was rippin'.

It was nice to meet you Mike. Good to finally put a face with the name.:veryhappy:

You're just gonna have to go through every single connection and check things again. I use grease in all connections as well as on the pos/neg lugs.

FWIW, a motor with compression/timing to need high octane fuel will run better on AVgas than it will with lower comp/timing and pump gas. AVgas will never let the motor make the power it could on a good race fuel. In the old days(and still today) people assumed the only consideration for a...

It will WORK with a charging FW, but it would be only for cosmetic purposes. The whole design is to make timing and changing total loss triggers faster and easier.
