I'll take my Steamway 2100 with 2.5" to 2" vacuum hose to the head of my glided 360, with 3/8" solution line and bet I would won't be out cleaned or out dried!

I'm surprised Mr Eco Dogooder Taf would sell such a fuel waster.
The control panel is ridiculous.

It is kind of cool in a way, but the Edelbrock carb and intake, headers, and the 320 horsepower are all pretty irrelevant when you're only running the thing at 1800 RPM.

GM 350 carburetorated motor produces 320 HP
Motor turns at 1800 rpm - saves gas and extends motor life
160 ft/lbs torque at 1800 rpm - provides higher lift than any other brand
Fuel saver?????????
One thing I do wonder compared to a Vortex is it looks like it would have
more cfm's 800-880 compared to 777 on a hat 7000 but not nearly as much
lift. That makes a HUGE difference when dueling.

Carbureted V-8 gets better efficiency than a Diesel? Please
At least they got to have fun with their new plasmacutter.

I would be extremely embarrassed to let any male customer see that stupid Lion face.
Heck, even a lady would have to wonder about my sexuality with that thing.
I'd love to know who's idea that was.

oh come on mikey you live in the Santa Cruz area you could clean carpet in drag with no problems
There’s a reason most industrial equipment, generators, big rigs, dump trucks are diesel because torque is where it's at. This V6 has 320 HP but only 160 ft/lbs torque wait until you get it under load it it's gonna work alot harder to produce less usable energy (torque) gas engines can't match the longevity and efficiency of diesel this engine..
The UD has 175 measly HP but it has 347 ft/lbs torque

I think they have a decent idea. However a v8 in a slide in is ridiculous. They should put in a smaller more fuel efficient "fuel injected" engine in it. I think a carburated v8 is over kill and I don't see how it can be considered efficient. At least with a PTO the engines are fuel injected and have computer controls to make them efficient. I think everything else is ok. I don't see the need for a bigger blower since most people only dual wand. I have yet to hear about people running 3 wands. However they need to open it up and add some 2.5 ports.
I would definitely look to Judson before I bought this monstrosity. Although I'd like to see the Judson machine with a bit more heat from the heat exchange machine. I'd like to see the judson machines capable of 240 with 1.5 gpm flow if not near 250 with heat exchange no LP!!

Cool machine, just commenting on first impression of faceplate signage.
We took the stainless faceplates off the EZs because of a similar gripe.
