can you take some pictures of where you have the flange braced on the engine? I'm looking at doing the same thing with an S478

Haha I had to put my video camera on the mailbox to hear what it sounded like. i was maybe hitting 5 psi or something and only around 3500 rpm just was trying to get a log but what surprised me was how fast it spooled i really didnt even have a second to react before the tires started to spin. I can only imagine when its all tuned nice and hitting 15+ psi hahaha
