Re: Finally bought my TG
Thanks All! Don't mind the opinions about motors... I'm rally thinking reliability but don't want to be a slug. I have a wife and 2 kids so I'm not looking to be part of the 100MPH club, but would like to be part of the 80MPH club. Keep the advise coming... OSO is awesome for this!

You might want to go a little bigger than 525s' if your wanting to get 80. Maybe 600SC?
Congrats on your new purchase

Nice! 
525's will not get you anywhere near 80mph. FYI mine runs 72 w/ 500efi's. I think 80mph is tough to get too w/ a full cabin TG and bravos. My 97 lipship, kevlar, covergirl cabin ran 80mph but was hard on drives and TONS OF FUEL! w/ 600's. Be happy w/ 74-75 , keep it turn key!
