    dustin, i talked to jim brock this weekend at the drags, and he said he told you to try a closed center loader. was just wondering if you have tried it yet and if you have if it worked. let me know, i really want to see you make that boat haul ass.

    Hey, Sam I haven't tried it yet but I plan on it this weekend or this coming week. I also bought a couple wedges to change the nozzle angle since it doesn't have much. The water the jet puts out just breaks the surface so I plan to put it up about 2-3 feet above the surface of the water at WOT. This should help the boat lift some more, we took it out after adjusting the rideplate a couple of weeks ago and it was running around 86mph that is an improvement from 82-83. So we are making progress I think changing the nozzle angle will help considerably. Dustin
