Well, geez looeeze don't be such a damn "sensitive new age kinda guy",
will ya. :)  You'da said the same thangs if you'da breezed into the
clubhouse after your "soiree" at the bar, wouldn't ya, eh?

One good thing, the worst that happens if you type while under the
influences, is that you might misspell and mangle a few words, but it's
damned hard to slurr your speech on the keyboard. Hee hee.

I thot it was good to see that some of the boys are still getting out on
the town. I'm afraid I'm a tad too fossilized for that these days. Sigh.

ANYWAY, what I was asking about was I know that instrumenting marine
exhausts for AFR or EGT measurement can sometimes be problematic
depending on how the cooling is setup with wet exhausts, and was asking
if you had any issues with that, but you brought up another thing I
wasted to ask about: has to do with exhaust pressures. Do you have any
numbers on WHAT the backpressure gets up to, and if it resembles in
magnitude the pre-turbo pressures (or greater?) that people worry about
when placing their WB O2 sensors. That was the one 'muti-fauceted'
question. Heh.

The other thing was just generally to get a mental picture of how the
engine was setup and what kind of instrumentation you had on it during
the run. You've said it was blown-intercooled, 8.3:1 CR and runs on pump
gas, and that peak HP was somewhere around 1200HP @ 5600rpm IIRC. Just
curious if you remember what/where peak torque landed? or is it
flatlined with the blower? Can you tell I don't know zip about blown
engines?

Well, hope your knuckles are on the mend. If typing is somewhat
difficult for you, you can reply in a couple days when your
embarrassment and hands have mended. :)
