Default Short Video of Nova test runs
I finally got everything worked out and seems to be running good.
Its on 15psi from 2nd gear. Not the best video but its all i could do for now. Im hoping to take it to the track this week and see what it does. (weather permitting)

Very cool. What do you think she'll run? It looks a lot like Kurt's (W2W) Nova.
