IdahoGn's first shake down passes 9-14-07 (Now with Video)
Guys and Gals,

I just got a call from Otto and they have made a couple hits on the motor.
The first full pass was as follows.

60= 1.3X (they left very soft)
660= 4.9
1320= 7.5 @ ~183MPH.

This pass was @ 13PSI

They are hoping to get another pass in, I will update you as I get more information.

What's the deal? Is it a big tire car? That's what I'm assuming. More info on the combo please.
