Seems to be working now. Not sure what it was. I did change some permissions on the forum. Maybe that was it....

NTS Running last years 15/20 Solas & 81nozzle @8500+R's=83ish mph
still cool outside 6 pumpgas map, no lights

all testing done with stock SC

running same 15/20 Solas & 79nozzle , switched to 6 racegas map
alot cooler outside, 8300R's=80ish mph pulls alittle harder with the racegas map

switching nozzle to 82mm with same Solas, try couple of runs on pumpgas map and then try racegas curve compare the 2

NTS 50 deg. outside, same Solas 15/20 82nozzle pumpgas map 8600+R's @ 84ish mph, racegas map 8690R's @ 84ish mph
#2 cylinder had bad deto, went up on fuelA but didnt touch timing and the light did not stop coming on, left as is because of temp outside was to cool
burning the prop on bottom end with the pumpgas map and burns the prop @ 5000R's with the racegas map.

Still stock SC and will need a new prop when I add Bkit SC

revs up to 8300 in a flash and feels like it could need a little bigger prop

i cant wait.

How's the hull feel at 84 mph?

everything is happening so fast, between reading the deto lights-rpm-watching where you are going, it all happens so fast its hard to pay attention. The hull is doing this very small porpose thing, I think the rideplate needs to be shimmed DOWN alittle more. LAST YEAR I kept adding rpm's but the ski woudnt go any faster, so I shimmed DOWN the rideplate and the speed went UP 2mph I'd hate to see what the speed would be if I was correct and shimmed it down even more and it went over 84.2
Should I try that before I tear the ski down???

I need to test some props, I think its going to be hard to find the best prop for these ski's
