Default Speed Freaks Wanted

On the test stand (which Dub urges you to use to break in your engine), the Jett 50 started right up and ran great. I've got 5, 14 ounce tanks of fuel run through it. It keeps on getting higher and higher RPM's and I'm still running rich.
8.8 x 8.5 APC D-1 Pylon prop, recommended by Dub for break in. I use his high-rise header and a MACS 1340(?) pipe purchased from Dub. He tells you where to cut the header for break-in. After that, its up to you to tune the pipe for the prop/RPM you are using.
The idle and transisiton are simply beautiful on this engine.
You can move the throttle stick open and closed as fast or slow as you want and stop anywhere inbetween with wonderful smoothness to the engine.
It is extremely loud! I have not had the dB meter on it yet, but am quite certain it won't pass at one of the fields that I fly at.
The McCoy 9 plug is working great.
