Well I didn't plan on running any faster than I already have but last weekend at Concordia was the first time I've ran light in over a year which was when she ran 106.7. Since then I changed over to an ACU w/steamwheel. After playing with the fuel pressure and steam wheel I went find some good water. When I did I made a few passes feeling everything out since it's been a while. On the fourth everything felt good so I got into it and she pulled harder than I remembered to 106 where I got out cause of a boat coming. It felt like it was pulling harder and the numbers climbing faster than I remembered. It just felt like another 2mph was left and I still had another two bumps of the trim to get to where it ran it's fastest last time. Everything felt great, locked in which wasn't the case last time but I resolved I few issues. I believe 108 is attainable.

just be careful. there are a few guys running in the teens with 2002. there is so many guys running 100 to 108 anymore. i use to think i was pretty fast @110.lol every year there are more guys running up there. i have hit 110 atleast 5 times, and cant get past it. trust your instinct, and let her eat man...

Holy smokes a 108-110 mph XB2003 would be outragous! Something for SURE to be proud of.

Good luck Chad, i am routin' for you
