Randy How many inches of manifold pressure? I would have loved to have been aboard at that speed.
when I rode the 658 with Jerry we were not able to go very fast because of the wake we would throw in the river.

In that run we were run 25 inches of manifold pressure 1400. At 1800 we were about 32 in . Tomorrow 6 am the museum is filming a commercial so I hope to get some more footage at speed and some drone footage.

Great Video! Looking forward!
