So Rusty,  what did you ever do with Tracy's Old Prop?  Do you still have i=
t?

I would also love to hear what Bill has to say about the warp drive,
as I am currently using the HIS old prop....  this is all getting
quite incestuous.

I am thinking about a new prop because...  I just got the new Turbo!=20
A TO4 hybrid with a modified stock turbine housing and BIG blades.  It
is sure to spin much slower than the stock turbo, and make more high
end boost....

It will simply bolt in less than a day, but I am going to wait until
after I get back from an up-coming cross country trip before making
the modification.
