    Twins with Twins, Anyone?

    Here is another good one for ya.. Previous run to video above. Shows the fine line between boosted, and busted on these big singles in current tune config. 2200R is the currnet low end torque number. After shifting to early and having to bail on the first launch, I make it up on plane next try...

    GoPros? You can buy 10 of these cheap cameras I've been using for cost of one hero 4. LOL.. One has already gone swimming with the fishes. I actually cut the sound down about 80% in the video editor because it's pretty max muffled between those pipes. However my head can replay the actuall...

    Twins with Twins, Anyone?

    Feel free to come over and go for a spin, any time you'd like. I'm planning to head back to FL within the month if things keep progressing nicely. However as I told Mark, lets wait until I put a good solid 20 miles or more on it without any issues, then we can make some adjustments and crank it...

    That's been considered, but there is currently 3 trim buttons on them now.. It can shift automatically based off GPS speed, but I have it set above 55mph so I can hold low gear until I get it fine tuned. Watch color of the ring on the button, which indicates when it's in lo-range lockout. Sent...

    Here ya go. Ever wonder how I could pump 5qrts of oil out of an engine and never notice it that day I went out by myself couple weeks back?? Watch the hands, then the tach's, and the boost gauges outside the tach's, all duplicated Today on the center display.. Trim indicators down in the lower...

    Yep it was in the heads... Whoohoo... Ran great , zero pressure in the cooling system. I was about ready to put a 10 or 15 mile run down river, and remember that wobbling power steering pulley from a couple weeks ago? We stopped for one final check back at the boat ramp, fired engines to head...

    Thats where I have to defer back to you guys who've ran big power successfully over long periods. What surface finish has proven to be more or less successful at holding on these aluminum heads? I believe if we go back up couple dozen pages, we may have discussed this leak right after we came...

    That's the new'r head pictured.. It wasn't mikes work. Another guy up there Dustin was using way back in the day. Mikes works on these engines all been top notch. He narrowed the rods, cut and balanced the flywheels, along with a bunch of other small stuff. We just started with heads before we...

    Low oil pressure on new build using LML/L5P oiling parts

    I guess I could chime in on this one.. I was just showing the banks video to my GM tech buddy yesterday. He's the one who came up with the idea to modify the LML pumps we use in the marine engines. We got a good laugh out of it, cause we started running that setup over 4yrs ago. But felt good to...

    How's everyone doing with this virus crap?

    Comments on the testing procedure? Did they use the big swabs or tickle your tonsils with the long straw? I've had both, and the latter is most unusual feeling.. Like sneezing out a noodle.

    How's everyone doing with this virus crap?

    That trade deal ain't happening, especially before election time. The great deal maker hasn't learned that China ain't some N.Y. building contractor. They don't take kindly to being berated on TV every day, then expected to bow down to one person. Their leader didn't come up for election every 4...

    I forgot to reset the tach recalls before we went out last time. So I know we never exceeded 4100. I was busy comparing boost pressure on the center screen because our analog gauges only go up to 35psi. Right before that run we noticed smoke from the turbo inlet v-band on port engine.. [V-Band...

    Twins with Twins, Anyone?

    I need to wear a camera on my hat, for my own relocations... At about 3:05, when ya see my truck backed in at the boat ramp, it was around 3800r right before the shift. I remembering pushing the throttles down right after, but still only hit about 2800r I think before let out.

    Heads off, cyl walls look good with naked eye. Head gaskets show no signs of leaking, so guess we'll swap out the heads and hope for the best.. Sent a nice clean pair to machine shop today for inspection and swap springs. Plan is bolt em back on Sunday. I'll let the shop see if can find our...

    That's why I have grandchildren to pay for such expenditures.. I actualy looked it up, and we dropped more cash into the US economy with that March Stimulas package, than we owe China and Japan total in our national dept.. So I say we send China a Thanks for your payment, Ballance Due, $1.5...

    Beside the fact I smoked the autocal licensed to the ECMs last week and have lambda tables jacked way out down low, they are otherwise kicking ass.. Here is run from yesterday when we were comparing cooling system pressures. I let off at end when I looked back to see my helper DD with both feet...

    Twins with Twins, Anyone?

    Thanks much for the input everyone. We will hope for the best, and certainly do some heavy searching for the source before bolting another set of heads on it. The blocks are very low mileage LML I got from DHD. Outa crashed trucks, so that's always a possibility. The slight moisture in the oil...

    Got all the oil all cleaned up, now we're dumping coolant in the bilge.. Thought it was just a pinched O-ring on the Stbd coolant reservoir, but after removing the O-ring spacer I put in there, inspected everything, replaced it,, to realize we have a crack somewhere.... So Dmax gurus, need...
