yeah i remember Kosta...good stuff sounds about right for a 35/40 on 15psi. looking at around 300rwkw on 20psi which seems to be the norm

270-290 rwkw through a auto 3540 on 20psi is probally more typical. I wish 300rwkw was typical, that would be sweet cheers darren Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
