    I tried searching so forgive me if I missed it but what size are those Vampire ASX tires? They sure look nice on there.
    26x13x12 but these tire are really 14 inches wide 36 pounds a piece!

    Evil, I was able to use the high flow filter kit on this motor since I wasn't limited by space. It allows the excess to go back into the carb like a stock motor. There shouldn't be any repeats of Busco for this motor.

    I got the exhaust back today. I debated between black and aluminum ceramic. Jennifer ruled out black so I went with the ceramic coating. I couldn't let Whipper have the only one on the site It turned out great. McCoy gave me a contact at Airborne Industries (Airborne Coatings) and he did a great job. I put his contact info with the pictures in the gallery.



    I also installed an Equus 8068 tach in the dash for her to keep an eye on that Bandolero motor. It connects via an inductive clamp on one of the spark plug wires. It is programmable and able to work with 1,2,3,4,5,6,8,10, and 12 cylinder engines. It is also backlit with 4 color options. It's a very nice tach and I think I paid somewhere in the $70 range for it at O'Rielly auto parts.



    Right now the Max is geared very low so the motor will probably be screaming even at lower speeds. I wanted to be able to keep an eye on the RPMs. After the Busco ride I will start playing around with different sprockets.

    That does look like I put a fan there. It's just the cover off of the motor laying there. I pulled the shroud to hook up the tach.

    How do you like the sound of those headers?
    Jennifer ain't ever getting out of that beast. Looks like your stuck with the little baby Max II.
    Enjoy your test and tune Mike, you may never get to drive it again.
    Super job!
