Joey and I spent hundreds of hours testing pipes when we were developing the "J" pipe before we ever landed on the final
seamstress tape works great, easy to flex around the header and pipe, just make sure you keep it in the center of the pipe/ header.what I really wanted to know was pipe length and how to measure it ,the info is great thank you. I'm running a cmb .21 powerhead on a lawless outdrive.
Great feed back!I have monitor eng head temp and ex gas temp with my Eagle tree in real time alone with eng RPM and GPS speed and course over lay on google maps.
It is not hard to set up and gives results on a boat running in the water.
This has bin around for many years now and many have played with it.
You can plug in to the boat after every run and see the results at the pond or make a file and save for later.
It take time and effort to do this and understand what it all means and how to use it.
Spent about a year messing with it and it did yield good results once I got the hang of how to interpret the info.
The problem with ex gas temp reading is it changes at different points on the course and the load the eng is under. every change in set up changes the results.
Now if you where just talking strait line and a short run it would help but on a boat running in race water where the conditions change it is not very help full.
There are to many variables in "real life" running of a boat to nail down just one thing it all has to work together.
The best help I received was from a good buddy that told me to "stop chasing the gun. You know when the boat is running good."
The best running boats are those from a person that understand the whole boat setup and can make it work.
Why do you think that some can make any combo run good???????

Me and Julian where just talking about this and putting it on his twin. There is a wireless transmitter that will send info to a hand held unit. I think it will work on a smart phone now. this way the pit man can see the head temp and ex gas temps as the boat is running. With two remote needles the driver can change the tune as the pit person tells him on what motor to change the mix.
I almost have him convinced to try it............LOL
Getting board again.........need a challenge........................
Happy boating......................................
