It may be a little early for TF 200 plans but Charlie is getting ready for his Christmas party and then it's on to Mardi Gras shortly thereafter. But, if anyone is planning on attending the 200, let me know. I live on the river just downstream from Charlie's and I can help you with a boat launch and possibly some trailer parking.

If it's a race boat with a 525 it's usually mated to a bravo type drive (i.e. factory boats). But, I'm sure the addition of a tranny and the heavier gearset in the 6 adds some serious parasitic load.

We parked down the street at the Chevron I think.

IVE SEEN A FEW OF THEM ON THE DYNO - THE AVERAGE POWER WAS IN THE 550-560 RANGE AND THE STRONGEST IVE SEEN WAS 584.

My '95 Cafe gets into the 80's with these Whipples added to my HP500EFI's. Bravo XR's out back. Sorry you didn't make it all the way to KW... I was the only Cafe there.

Great to see you too Scott. One day I'd love to see your Cafe in person! You should bring it to the West Coast of FLA and we'll burn up some 93 octane.
Got a question for you...(or anyone else reading this) how long are your throttle cables?
