There you go sharing valuable, real world experience and tech again, you're just a hater.

To clarify I hope you make more HP than the 106x HP number I posted for your dyno hp session at BES.

Not sure what you were talking about on the "mod to prevent this issue from happening." What does a mod have to do with making over 106o+ hp?

Just throwing out a High Goal. Realize that it was the highest projection of the posts to date. Still Chris U. said he would take a leap and project 1050.
Would be nice if it came within 20 HP of the number.

Wasn't a thrust issue. Checked thrust clearance was good. This was an issue at the rear most part of the rear main bearing. First things first.. once the engine is back together tonight I'll post some pics and a mod to prevent.

Best of luck to you and the crew. I have a strong suspicion you put some valve action in it. :-)
