    Twins with Twins, Anyone?

    Winner Winner Chicken Dinner !! I know these drives previously survived life behind a pair of blown BBC's, then a pair of 1700hp turbines. Didn't last 30 minutes behind a cranked up Duramax.. Got Torqued... :roflmao:

    How's everyone doing with this virus crap?

    Still no takers on the wife trade. She's really a beautiful women. Few miles on her, but no rust yet... I understand Quaaludes may be hard to come by unless your Bill Cosby's neighbor, so I will consider offers of two half gallons of whiskey. Must be Maker's or better..

    How's everyone doing with this virus crap?

    I'd see how a month or two of quarantine together works out first. I'd trade my wife of 30 years for a bottle of quaaludes and half gallon of whiskey today.. And I don't normally drink... Sent from a reclined position using Tapatalk

    Being a huge data junkie I like to look at related numbers. Anyone catch the news on global emissions changes they've been tracking by satellite? Not exact one I watched, but the short version...

    Pushing coolant what else to check before pulling the heads

    Having buddies who work at GM dealerships can be a good and bad thing.. Dustin convinced me to use those new GM gaskets because they were half price of the Victors with his GM discount. Then about 8 months later once both engines are assembled and setting on stands, he says to me "those GM...

    Low maf reading

    I was about to chime in with a "try another MAF" before reading your last post. The 09 is a PWM unit, which means it reads in HZ not 0-5V like an LBZ or older units. So a flaky harness wire would most likely result in zero signal or the correct reading. Not a low reading.. Glad to hear you fixed...

    Pushing coolant what else to check before pulling the heads

    Also be sure to use the good Victor Renz wave guide gaskets. Not the GM LML release version from the dealership. I learned that one the hard way... Sent from a reclined position using Tapatalk

    Don't believe drives have made it to Cali yet. My money is on one of these teeth missing. I have pleny of spares. Question is, can we save the case. Sent from a reclined position using Tapatalk

    Put Idaho trip on hold for couple weeks to allow the shit paper storm to blow over. Good time to catch up on paperwork here in BF SE Ohio. Did have Ryan fire up and flush out both the engine cooling systems this week. He did a ballance rate test on both. Everything looks well. So now it's wait...

    Twins with Twins, Anyone?

    All good questions... The plan was to source a third set of props with more cup give it another try. Then lower the drive 2 inches and test again. The lower units are off and ready to be shipped back to California. Be at least a couple weeks before she is in the water again. Tonight I'm...

    Twins with Twins, Anyone?

    Got one with sound compiling now. Today was full of highs and lows. Highs, engines performed flawlessly. Good temps, pressures, spooled well, and both smacked 4500R a couple times. The new props hooked up better, so 6 blades helped, but drives are still too high. Answered the question "What...

    Thanks guys. I'll didn't see any #6 style props listed on his site, but I'l still ring him up tomorrow. Was loaned a nice set of cleavers today, but it was after lunch and we didn't make it back out on the water. Did manage to fix the lift pump and wired in the canbus gateways. Actually has...

    What we had is 16-7/8" dia. cut down #6 props. Hopefully what we try today is closer to 17-1/2" dia. Certainly in that take your best guess realm right now.. :-) Sent from a reclined position using Tapatalk

    Gonna try a little lower pitch with six blades tomorrow. The video above is in low-range, where it just peals em loose soon as she starts to boost. Highest boost we recorded was 20psi. But they still saw 3700rpm a few times totally unloaded.
