We turned up the wick on Boss Bird. Launched like a monster. Best ever 60 ft and 1/8th mile. 3.88@192 mph.
Got squirrelly after the eighth and had to lift. Ran a 6.09 coasting. Jetting stagger looks perfect...all plugs identical. Eric

Had a great time watching all the fun. Had to leave early so no news here but had a blast watching all that Indian power . I got to see the Boss Bird (what a Beast) run and Arnie on the tractor. Good Times.

Is that possibly the fastest 1/8 mile Pontiac lap ever? I think Jeff Kauffman was 3.93 to the 1/8 on his 5.991 record setting run.
Well done Eric, Mike and company!

Here's a picture of a perfect set of plugs out of a nitro engine. All the same and the ground straps nibbled back just a bit.

Didn't take anything apart yet but the perfect plugs suggest that we'll find 8 good pistons inside. Eric
