Any 29's with big power?
Does anybody have or know of 29's with whipples or blowers? What speeds can the single step take and perform well at? I heard they don't do well about like 85, can anybody validate that at all?

If you do a search on here, there were 2 29's with big power at one time. One was Crowd Pleaser, from Va. and the other was a boat from Fla. I think. Thomas with the boat from Va, was running around 108 mph if I recall correctly and the boat from Fla was running about the same speed.

"Roger", on this forum, is running a 29 Fountain with 1050 hp (a pair of 575 hp NA engines). The acceleration on that boat is incredible. He and Dave Knight also used to run a Fountain race boat (P2 class, I think). Roger has lots of experience with the Fountains. He should be able to answer your questions.

I had a '98 with a single HP500. Sold it to a guy in CA. He said he built it to 850 HP and saw 92. He said it was scary. He also went through drives like crazy!
