  1. L92 is the truck version of the LS3 head. They are better than ls2/ls6/ls1 heads.
  2. Last month I broke the front of the pump shoe off and here is what the fix looks like as of last week. You can't really tell from the picture but on the leading edge of the water weld there is a rolled metal pump shoe insert that I posted a few pages back. The water weld filled the hole that was an inch deep infront of the plastic shoe. http://i165.photobucket.com/albums/u57/playwithlinn/338341994_photobucket_7615_.jpg http://i165.photobucket.com/albums/u57/playwithlinn/338341994_photobucket_7614_.jpg I posted two weeks ago about how I sucked up a huge rock on the Licking River. When I pulled the prop out of the pump, I was missing chunks of metal from the vains and one was bent. I had IPS fix the pump for me and knife edge the leading edge of the vains. Here is what is the vains look like on the pump after they were fixed and knife edged. http://i165.photobucket.com/albums/u57/playwithlinn/338341994_photobucket_7617_.jpg http://i165.photobucket.com/albums/u57/playwithlinn/338341994_photobucket_7618_.jpg The wear ring after the rocked passed through it. http://i165.photobucket.com/albums/u57/playwithlinn/338341994_photobucket_7616_.jpg Here is a picture of the back of the pump shoe with the pump, impeller, wedge, nozzle and bucket removed. http://i165.photobucket.com/albums/u57/playwithlinn/338341994_photobucket_7619_.jpg
  3. Is that the same hornet that he raced in the Supra?
  4. Every part of the lake except the main lake is like glass.
  5. My goal with the ski has always been to break 80.0 MPH this season and I would like to break 85 MPH next year. Once the water and air temp cool it should pick up some speed. I am going to cut the bottom of the J-Pipe off where it goes into the water box and fill in the big gap on the side of the ride plate where it meets the hull. I've been told I should gain 40 RPM with the J-pipe mod and .7 MPH with filling in the gap on the side of the ride plate. With the air/water getting cooler my RPMs are only going to keep going up and the soft limiter of the ski is at 8250. Right now I'm turning a 21.5 pitch prop at 8160-8180 which is right where it needs to be. So to pull the RPMs down I'm going to try a 81mm nozzle compaired to the stock nozzle that is 83mm. I should see one or two MPH just by changing the nozzles. I'm going to Lake Cumberland in Sept and I'm hoping to not only break 80 MPH but to hit 81+. Smooth water is a must even with small chop/wind my ski just jumps out off the water and has trouble getting over 73MPH.

  7. Make sure you let me know the next time you head out. I have a few things I want try with the ski and with the cooler weather coming I feel there is atleast 1 full MPH left if not 2.
  8. Shanton and I went out this morning and the ski did 77 with me sitting on the seat. I wish I had more time to run North of 36/37 but, I was only able to make one pass up and turn around and come right back. I wish that area was not a no wake zone. My ski was turning 8140-8160 during the run and after an hour of riding. It did spin 8180-8200 earlier in the day I just couldn't fun smooth water. Who can guess the new speed?
  9. I can't wait to go to cumberland with cooler air temps and water. These ski can pick up 100-200 RPM depending on weather and water temp. There is a solid 1-2 MPH left in the ski.
  10. After two hours of riding and the ski being heat soaked. I made one pass north of 36/37 turned around and came back looked down at the GPS and here is what I found. http://i165.photobucket.com/albums/u57/playwithlinn/338341994_photobucket_7261_.jpg
  11. Are you talking about my race with Steve's z28? If you are, I find alot of humor in it.
  12. How was that video even close to what happened? The guy opened his own door to take a piss while the car was moving? (Sorry about your friend)
  13. Here is the list of BS in that post. 76mm turbo GIRDLE CUSTOM TURBO PISTONS CUSTOM GRIND CAM this car make 630 rwhp on pump gas and 16lbs of boost and 748 on 22lb with race fuel
  14. Yep and a repost. Thanks for taking me back to 09.
  15. But on a positive note you will need to make less power than a CTS-V or 03-04 Cobra.
  16. It will. You will need to make 25-50 more wheel than an F-body and 50 more wheel than a vette.
