It's idling about 850 on the hose. Where should it idle in the water?

That's good, it sounded quite a bit lower in the vid. As long as your shift interrupt switch is adjusted properly it'll work fine. Have fun out there!

Had it on the water today and runs good. Acceleration is awesome!!! Didn't run it to hard because it's still fresh but I believe it's gonna be one stout small block.
