It was great meeting you all. What a great group of guys to hang out with. BTW did anyone ever find out why all those cops were over at the motorcycle shop across the street?

What hp and torque did it make?

I couldn't get dynoed because of other commitments but I would like to be on the list next time. Thanks to Phong and Chris for organizing this.

I guess that would be me. I was the last to go. First pull was 365 or something like that, running extremely rich because of the way it was originally set up. Got to about 388 hp or so at 12-13 psi. Turned the boost up to about 16 psi and hit 400 rwhp and called it a day. My oil temps got way too hot because there wasn't enough air flow to the coolers and it was getting late. My fuel pump probably won't support too much more than that anyway. Maybe I'll get a better pump and turn up the boost a little more next time Steve comes out. :-)
