Joel! With 800+ RWHP under the hood the last thing you want to see is a drop in fuel pressure at wide open throttle pushing over 6,000 RPM. Keep up the good work and thanks for sharing your results.

I'll post up a dyno vid in the next day or two, since I was just there last week to dial in my new fuel pump. It was around 800+ at the wheels on this pass, but now sits between 840-850 RWHP after the last session...

Were you buckled up on that run? Looked like your seat belt light was on.

Thanks Bill!! With this gearing and my new slightly taller R888s, it pulls very clean and hard to redline in 6th, which is right around 200!

Very very cool
- what are the specs on the cameras and mounting options? I'd be interested in doing something similar.
Thanks,
John

Thanks John,
I now run 2 Contour HD cameras, and a Cannon HD camera with a remote mic. I use suction cup mounts as well as a homemade mount to my rollbar.
