Yes, but the extreme parasitic loss through the drop box, reverser, and rockwell axles was enough to bring me back down to 450hp at the tires... ...

Tom, still only 450 hp even with the 7900 rpm you spin now?

Well, the setup still needs some tuning, so hopefully the addition of the custom titanium reciprocating flyweighted non governed overflow valve not-havin big RPM turnin beer drinkin modified kneuter valve will Git-R-Done!!!! U-BET!!!
