Winter Gatherings

[badblood]

i will be there waiting for ya badblood

  :shocked: Waiting for me? I ll try to get it off the dyno in time to make it.  Ive got some new pump tricks that need to be tested on someone, guess your it.

well Randall...it is safe to say...You've probably bitin off more than you can chew...unless Santa brought you a truckload of horsepower !  :wink:

naw i'm just trying to get more thb members to show up at the byuboyz event i would much rather see a jet whooping some A$$ than the tampons oh sorry i mean clamp ons, kinda like plea bargain did a few years ago. i know i'm down on hp, but i will line up next to anyone

Rick and I have been known to attend some byuboyz events , always fun to mix it up with some of the nitrous clamp on guys. We attend most events on the Red river, if I can get it finished in time this will be my first trip to the San Jac.

Motor never been dynoed. Me and David where talking bout an A. What is the new style inducer I haven't seen it I don't guess. What about bowl stuffer and bleeder?

If you are gonna keep the current motor a while I would go with an A from AT it will fit your bowl and wont need a stuffer, as for the air bleed that will let the trapped air out of the bowl when you put the boat in the water. I have one and they work geat. The new inducer has a smaller hub, longer, straighter blades than the DPS inducer and has tested .10 sec. quicker than the dps inducer. I bought mine from Tom Morrow @ jetpump repair in Ms. Call me if you have any questions

Yeah Randall I know what your doing and I agree 100%. I think this is gonna be one of the best turnout summers ever! It don't matter if a guy gets out run all day long , as long as everybody is safe at the end of the day it's all in good times and good fun! I've probly been out run more than I have won but still have alot of fun doing it!

 

[badblood]

I have plans for outtings at least one per month all summer on the Red River, maybe one or two at Lake O the Pines.
I will post dates each month during summer (warm) months. We had some great turnouts last year and hope to see more jets and v-drives this year.

 

[J C Gordon]

I found out the other day that I will end up with at least 200 hours of vacation time so I plan on hitting alot of events myself

[badblood]

Who all is going? Will I be the only rep from the Jetboat gang?? We are planning on taking the barge and a truck load of nitrous bottles, should be fun. :evil: They are clamin to have the fastest obs in the country on hand for some side by side action. If the weather permits for dyno on tuesday I will have plenty of time to get it in the boat for the weekend.

David I will give you a call. Need to get that pump done soon.

 

[badblood]

I shouldnt get wet till its time to load up. It isnt easy to load with a float on trailer, no reverse, and a big impeller that idles at break neck speed.
Hope I get it dynoed, Steven has some scheduling issues this week, and I wont put it in the boat till it is dyno tuned. I had to chase down a small distributor today to clear the new Dart tunnel ram.
Any of yall going to San Jac??

 

[sturat]

yep

 

[badblood]

Motor is just in from the dyno, the carbs I bought were so far off that it failed to make a full pull on the first pull. We made several changes and got it running and sounding good. Looks like we will have it back in the boat and ready to go for Saturday. Winter intake/carb swap netted 81hp increase. :smile16:
