Yes it's an Indian. My buddy who wrenches on my bike for me is the Crew Chief for the current world record holder (it's a Harley) in NHRA's top fuel MC class.

He's made this thing a TQ monster. It's 100ci of fun .

That's why I always when Naz calls me surfer boy . Between my size, the shaved head, goatee and tattoos I'm definitely the anti-surfer in the water.

I ride 30lb old school longboards. Granted I ride beach breaks were you only see 150lb guys riding potato chips. When I drop in on a big wave at full steam people move. The combo of that huge board and my big a$$ coming at full speed tends to part the crowds .

If you do the math on a 60 PMH wind, it's a lot of air. Most dyno rooms don't have enough fan capacity to really replicate the air flow of going fast. With the hood up and a larger fan, you actually have a chance of moving enough air through the IC to have it do some good.

At 60 MPH the IC is getting somewhere between 200-600 cfm of air through it.

nice to see someone actually get's this

the more you can simulate what you see on the track the better the car will do. Ours are setting records around the country and NOT having ECU issues either

Why start another thread? The subject was brought up by RMW. Would it not be more relevant to keep it here in this thread?

I would be curious to see what these records are. What tracks. What mods including; wheels, tires, suspension, brakes, etc.
