Another Chevy 6
Dave Timberlake of Phoenix flew his 6 Sun the 17th. It is powered by a Chevrolet V-6 Dave reports it lands better with 30 psi in the tires.

performance information
I like the pics but any chance of having video so we can hear how the engine sounds? What about any statistical data on the performance of the engine? Perhaps some info on the installation?
Jess do you have a website we can visit to see details of the installation of the Chevy V6?
