Thanks for the ride Dave.

My pleasure Paul, thanks for letting me drive the RX8.  That is a zoom zoom
car!!

Before I have any chance of going as fast as Tracy (down low) I will have to
get a bigger prop, improve water cooling slightly, and figure out a way to
safely run more boost.

Or, I can accept the fact that the real beauty of the turbo is to be able to
run 30"+ at 15,000 feet where I can have a fancy number to talk about (but
not win many real races), have plenty of power for brief take offs up to say
40" MAP to get over that tree, and otherwise have a great airplane that
performs about like an RV-6 with 180hp and a c/s prop.

Nah, I'm going to the turbo store tomorrow to see about a bigger turbo.  :-)
