Engine Shop
Yesterday I dropped the boat off at Tyler Crockett Marine Engines to add some power to our 454MAG. I brought the camera to take a few pictures of the shop and some of there projects. I did not get a chance to meet Tyler (he was out of the office) but I did meet his brother Dave and another employee named Steve. Dave and Steve were great guys. They showed me around the shop and we could of talked about building hp all day. Enjoy the pictures.

Here are a few other "let's make it go faster" projects they had around the shop.

No hydraulic steering and/or XR drive. I do not plan on adding either this year. Although I agree both are important, money is spacing out the upgrades.

Re: Engine Shop
Most important: Make sure you get it dyno'ed. It should not be much more than $500. Trust me!!!!!!

I understand your point, just be careful with it.

I agree. Dyno time can prevent a major melt down of pistons.

Re: Engine Shop
What package are you getting? You should upgrade the steering fairly soon, very important when putting decent power in your boat.

The engine is being tuned on the dyno and that is included with the upgrade package. Tyler also said he would take the boat out with me when I pick it up to try a few different props out. Sounds like a first class operation.

The upgrade kit is the featured product on Tyler's website. It includes porting and milling the heads .020, new intake and exhaust valves, exhaust, cam, timing chain set, reprogramming the ECU, fuel pump w/ cooler, fuel pump regulator and let's not forget about a new flame arrestor. The kit comes with a boost in hp of 90 or 110 depending on the cam specs. We chose the 90 hp cam so we could keep the Captain's Call exhaust (wife's request).
