Glad to know it seems good. It would be just my luck if the one 12A I have left is completely duff :-)

I doubt it. The electric fan doesn't require more than one belt.

My only criticism of the setup is the constant-radius tube feeding the carbureator. Drawing air through such a tube causes the air to heat considerably. I would recommend on future installations that an expanding-radius tube would alleviate the problem and free up a few extra ponies.

Where does one find expanding radius pipes, and bends to cobble together?

Do you mean constant radius or constant diameter?

so you must be pinned? and what kind of boost were you running to get 730rwhp? just trying to figure out how much boost my motor might be able to handle and what kind of power to be expecting. im hoping to be putting down over 400 rwhp at 10-12 psi.
