Been dragging my Heels on this thing, But heres the lates.
Has the engine and pipe in it now, with a little something special from Extreme RC Mods. FLM Bulks/towers are on the way. GH Arms sitting in wait and Skid plate being drawn up as we speak.

Now before You say the word "Back Pressure", In order to have back pressure you need restriction, If you look closely you will see there is No restriction after the Pipes stinger.

Im really hoping to get down to No Limit finals this year in May.







Tank 3 of Break in, Testing for Back Pressure, Temps were well within reason.

So far it works Great. It turns heads and Blows smoke evenly out of both sides.

The biggest part is there are no negative effects on the engine, However you do need to keep a rag or towel handy to wipe the oil off the body once your done running it. lol

Here are some VIdeo's from Last year, Its well overdue. I finally got around to putting them up on youtube. Sorry guys. They arent great, but I never have anyone to hold the camera.

Break in. After a half a tank of on/off throttle bursts, I let the engine sit for a few seconds to see what the idle would do. The stacks definitely do not hamper performance or Temps at all.

I tried to get a shot of the front end coming off the ground. Not far, about 1CM, but still darn good for an engine with only 7-8 tanks in it and geared 17/47. But by the time I finished talking, the engine was too loaded and died on take off with no punch. I honestly couldn't tell you why I don't have a video of me trying a second time. But its a decent half second of the pipes blowing smoke :twisted:

Half a gallon into this engine. Still not performance tuned, only doing quick throttle stabs. I think from factory, the HSN is in 1/10th turn, and the Low Speed is in maybe 1/4 turn. Still rich and very tight, not even close to producing its potential power. Already shredding Three Speeds.

The top of the Blown 3spd, I've seen worse, but not on an un-tuned engine. The ERCM Drive Line Curse starts already



The Fix, an SV250 Bullet Proof Single Speed Tranny (See http://www.savage-central.com/module...wtopic&t=86582 for Bullet Proof 3 Speed Mod) EDIT: Just noticed this is just the Single Speed Mod, I have since installed the 2spd Idle and Drive gear. Guess I didnt take a picture of it.


The FLM Bulks and Towers with GH arms and Integy Hubs. LST shocks and Powder Coated Raven Dual Rate Springs.
I'll get some pics of the whole Truck Aluminum'd out once the Blue Tranny comes in

Well I have some Options for tires now, I made some minor changes to the trucks innards to smooth out a few issues. The engine is finally showing signs that it is ready for a performance tune.

My skid plate should arrive tomorrow, Once thats mounted I will make a more permanent mount for the bull bar. Next week I hope to put some weight in a toboggan, fire her up and see what this girl can do
