    Well got the water pump in the motor,,took it to salt River at the ohio and tryed her out. She ran great,,comes out of the hold great and quick,,put my GPS on it tonight so I`ll find out the true speed,,,it has a 24 pitch Raker on it,,but WOT is only 4500,,,think i need to come down to a 21 maybe,,,or a 23,,,what do you all think?
