Got the first one in and installed, ran it in the test tank and it is so quite you need to look at the tack, it idled at 480 rpm as smooth as silk. Will be taking it to the water next week and will post results.

Did you reprogram it for the 'good' oil, or is it still programmed for the 'standard' oil?

**racer** · 03-27-2005, 10:34 PM
