It is a matter of usage as far as I am concerned. But I know for a fact, that Kelly works very closly with anyone of his customers until it is right....I am still thinking of going that route myself.

YEA VIPER.. It was me.. That thing ran like a "F"in rocket on methanol on Friday at the last DS days!! We ran about 7 gal. through it.
PASS AFTER PASS> THEN,,,,,,,,$%^&^*(%#$##@&*(-------------------------------------------- Got her home and after alot of check this and that,,, Found the Mag sheered the keyway in half!!! And you know what happens then,,, Timing went way advanced. NOT GOOD!!!$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ ...... REBUILD!!!..... Got her running ,so-so,with some pretty good mods to the engine. Still needs to see Kelly for Dyno. Maybe next weekend. It's been a challenage.

Ah good deal Bud. I thought that was you. I wonder if really the main issues then is keeping the motor together from all the boost, and not a setup issue? When Justin had that, we spent some time one day testing starts at St anns. Trying to figure out how to come out of the hole better. He was getting it down towards the end just as I was running out if Nitrous. The thing I noticed most about that machine both when you guys were running and when Justin had it, was just as she started to build steam, it would hit the rev limiter and you would have to let out to shift, then build it all back up. Now if you could keep the boost up as you shifted, holy crap she would be a handful.
Anyhow, are you going to make it to Ds days this year?

Going to make a real effort to make it to DS days. Pretty sure the turbo will be good by then????

Azsandrider - I have read a number of your technical posts. I have no doubt that you know what you are talking about. I don't accept the premis that you have to own or ride something to have the right or credibility to comment on it though. That would mean we would only be able to discuss the options we already have. The testimonials I have heard and watching the video's of AZSAND's bike making popcorn up the hill is enough experience for me to not want to take the risk of my turbo investment turning out like theirs, instead of like yours. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]
Just a little history lesson.........
That motor in AZSAND's bike was Henry Ford's original prototype for the Model T. It was abandoned after discovering that it scared the horses too much and the liability of someone getting hurt might set the prospect of the mass produced automobile back a decade. The motor was then sold in 1935 to Orville Redenbacher who after hearing it run new that sound was his destiny. He kept it as inspiration until the early '70's when microwave popcorn was on the horizon as the future of the business. Orville sold the motor to a Jamaican gentleman by the name of Kool Herc who after hearing the motor run invented the concept of RAP. He played the motor in the background until about 1989 when it became clear that the motor simply wouldn't spin fast enough to keep up with the new kids entering the RAP music industry. The motor sat on a shelf until 2004 then was sold to some shop in Cornelius, OR at a garage sale............
The rest, as you know, is history[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]
