Thanks guys :cool: I got just a few more brackets to make that I can't by over the counter but hope to have it on the water by the weekend. I'm gonna TRY to run M/E with what I've got, I think with alittle tuning on the hardware she's gonna be able to do it. WHO KNOWS !!!!! 1st race is July 6-7 @ Ky lake.
Brought this boat home Sept 2011 and redone just about everything but pretty happy the way it turned out. Can't wait to make it to the track :cool:

Well got everything just about ready to rock for the weekend :)devil Had to do alittle rewire on the boat for this new digital 6AL box, but its a nice box .. Got the rev limiter in 100 RPM increments from 2,000 to like 11,000 and just 1 plug for everything.. So if a box goes bad its pretty easy to swap out if your in a hurry.. Gonna try to take the boat out 1 more time for alittle shakedown but all and all i'm ready for the weekend .. Talked to Steelcomp today and he's makin the trip over to help out so hope everything goes smooooooooth !!!!!!!!! Big thanks to Scott for doin that for me, cause the only people I had comin only new how to drank my beer hil:)

I`m really looking forward to the Kentucky race this weekend and seeing friends that i haven`t seen in too long. I`ve got the valves adjusted and all i like being ready is hookin up. Wheatland is the only race i`ve been to this year. Mailman, This would be a good weekend to bring it over.

Got er down to a 10.34 today with just makin small changes. I could put juice on it but that's to damn easy. I'm gonna learn how to tune a boat and not just throw HP at it. I'm like everybody else and love to win but I gotta learn 1st and I got a lot to learn. Gear I got sum pics and ill try to get sum posted. I know what I need to do and I'll make a few changes and go back in August and go from there. Had a freakin ball and I'm just livin a dream guys !!!! Win or loose I've already won :cool:
