I will go ahead & add to that while we are waiting on the show to start...
I will be quite excited for Rob when the time comes for him to get back in a boat.. There have been many p.m.'s between us with the latest episode of "look what I found"
Your times coming bro..

update.
everthing is buttoned up for the day. tomorrow more testing.
It looks like the blower isn't as fresh as once thought.
Pulley changes arn't making the net boost increase as it should.
everything wiill be double checked tomorrow and I'll let you know more.
Still made 900 on torque with 5lbs of boost but had to spin it hard to get the boost.

Wow, sounds like your "dyno-time only" blower might have been run on the same dyno as my "dyno-time only" motor... Is there a boat running around Miami called "Dyno-Time Only"?
(OK, I'm leaving this ONLY because it's funny and relates to Tom's blower issues, otherwise disregard my motor and I are happy).

I've been trying to come up with a name for the boat.
"Dyno-time"
I'll have to keep that one in mind.

I'm an honest guy - and too many times I've left money on the table.
Maybe that's why I'm not living large, but I sleep well at night.
Gotta remember, I'm a Polock raised in the mid-west ( they actually changed the spelling of my last name when my great x2 Grandfather came to Ellis Island, because no-one could pronounce it...
), and raised very Catholic.All that guilt hurts me in the checkbook - but I sleep well.
That is of course if my two dog's aren't bouncing around the bed....
Tom - sorry for the derailment.
Keep us posted!!!
I'm looking forward to some video!

Amen to that Sean.
Obviously there's alot to the story, but we'll move on.
It will work out in the end and make for good stories.
I spoke to the engine shop and we'll take a week off and see which direction we will go (blower rebuild)
