I wish you the best with the install. It's going to be a beast.

Not the same, it's gonna look wild together. It was apart a year and 2 months. Had some issues with getting it rebuilt.

I worked with Ed on deciding to degree them this way. The plan is to get the torque curve to come in as early as possible. The torque should be closer to a twin screw curve. I don't want to deal with any lag. But, I will keep the sweet hp curve of a centri that just keeps growing the whole way.
