First ride bd intercooled

[dmkhnr]

I rode my bd intercooled kit today for the first time, and it was spotless.
8.5# 100% av-gas and no stumbles just crisp throttle.
ALOT more power than the pump gas pro that I had last year.
I'm very impressed.

Thanks for the update dmkhnr. Stupid rumors got me! I was told NOT to run avgas. I'm glad I just bought 25 gallons of race gas.

who said not to run av?

What are you running for clutching and weights? I assume by your other posts this was in cooke? Also just curious to what you were running for numbers?

I was under the impression that you can run avgas, but you will get better performance and less detonation with a race/pump fuel mixture. As I stated before, it was just a rumor. So I could be way off base. Has anyone on here ran avgas @ 3-6k, 8lbs?

i have run av in mine so far this year, as well as my tdragon last year, no issues
im sure plenty of people run av

i was at 6-7000 feet on wednesday, 8 lbs boost, no problem

i plan on going straight AV 10lbs at 4-7k ft

lots if rumors/chatter on av gas one of them being that it is a "low rpm" fuel, i was speaking with the guy at the airport where i buy my gas and they run the av gas in there rotarys and they turn 6500rpm +/-

100% Av, no mixing, good price/octane ratio, just turn up the boost a little. They only downfall seems to be a little slower responding off boost at high elevations. High as in 8-10k. Heck, there is a buddy who only runs 7lbs on an M8 and runs straight av for safety. At 5-6k feet his response is completely fine.

I ran it in island park yesterday. Headed to cooke city now. Will update later.

We ran a intercooled BD @ 7.5lbs with 50/50 Av gas on its maiden voyage Wednesday. Ran great. We are going to wait until we have a few more miles to turn it up to 10lbs.

avgas is fantastic fuel...
dont let anyone discourage you from using it.

running 10.5 # on 75 % AV on a 11 updated kit with the intercooler no DET.
issues to this point at 10,000 plus feet.Had no issues last year at 9#

10# all day today, the only thing that I'm seeing is it is hitting 1270 at WOT on big pulls, I'm adding fuel to the top mid/hi numbers to combat this, but once in a while get a rich bog.
The sled runs flawless, and very crisp. I couldn't be happier.

Getting a rich bog and have high temps? I have seen in the past being so rich that I was burning fuel in the pipe and getting super high temps. Leaning it out actually solved the problem. FYI....but obviously be careful with it.

 

[dmkhnr]

After talking to Jared, he first recommend that I check my plug color but said that he has no problem running the pro at the higher egt, and in fact said that his will hit 1320. When I told him where mine was he said it seems nuts on.

I rode 1 day at island park, and 4 days at cooke and had 0 issues. The sled was as reliable as any stocker.
