I ask my neighbor, " where the hell is he going?"

He answers me, " The dog park".

I told my neighbor that he was an "enabler".

Burned over 1000+ acres and 0% contained.

We were on the lake and watched it start and grow...

We may be evacuated in the next few hours.

This fire is nasty. I was in Sac today , which is 75 miles away... You could see the fire smoke that is 30,000 feet high from Sac. Fire is getting close to my home...thank God I did major fire suppression work on my 8 acres. Last I heard 15 homes have been burned, and thousands of acres. The sky outside is glowing red... Hopefully they can get this monster under control.

Very good news that you and your property are OK. Hopefully they get it fully contained soon.

We might see at Constantine this year. He had some fuel delivery issues with the carbs and I think was working with Tony Brucato on an efi set up. This is almost a completely hand build engine.

Decided to keep my shit, for now anyways!
Scott if I could only buy one prop for now which one would you recommend for this beast?
I'm about to pull the trigger on a blade Blaster 14.75x32 I tried Joe's and liked the way it felt.

What say the Rev?

This engine is so strong, you can run 22-34 pitch blades, maybe more.

I drag raced it with a 22...it hits hard off the bottom...85 mph at 7200

I have a 30 BBLADES.... love it! 120 mph+

If you are not traveling long distances, a 26 would have you kicking some serious ass on the big blocks!!!

I have a 32 BBLADES...smooth, but lacks mid range punch...scary top end.

I am ordering a 28... I think it will control top end, and deliver a vicious mid range. I really liked the smaller blades and greater acceleration.... and I feel safer. A 28 still delivers 110+

My steering pump on the Cougar was louder than usual, and the assist wasn't working at all. Called Mike Grey at SeaStar, and he recommended this replacement coupler to fix the problem.

At 110 mph , he isn't spinning it very hard. There should be more speed there...??

The prop slip calculator says the following:

6200 rpm= 110mph @ 5% slip
6800 rpm = 121 mph @ 5% slip
