That pesky Sporlan valve....
Kerry,
I kinda thought as much. Even though the turbo would help compensate for the altitude, it still only gets you a few more ponies. The fact ramains that they are not the fastest rigs over the hills...just the coolest. Doug davidkerryedwards I've been over Raton with mine but not any higher passes yet. Not a speedster. I was down to 20mph on some hills in the Appalachians this summer. Mine has an aftermarket turbo on an NA. Are you thinking of repowering with a 3208T? It would be interesting to put two Birds, one turbo and one NA at the bottom of the pass and see how far ahead the turbo is at the top. Kerry 82 FC 35 Denvr --- In WanderlodgeForum@yahoogroups.com, Doug Engel > > Kerry, > Considered that (low oil pressure sending unit) and plan to check it out the weekend. We came home over Raton, LaVeta, and Cochetopa passes. Slow...really slow...20MPH. Good oil pressure, no overheating, but quite a grunt, especially the last one (11K'+). If we keep her, a repower may be in the future. Thanks for the suggestion and the welcome home wishes, Doug Doug Engel, Gunnison, CO. 1981 FC35SB "Pokey" --------------------------------- Sponsored Link Mortgage rates near 39yr lows. $510,000 Mortgage for $1,698/mo - Calculate new house payment [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] |
