I really appreciate how Tommy and his customers are willing to try new things. The engines in the Apache are 1200 HP and the speed is 110++ mph. The 43 Nortech will get the same engines and I suspect speeds of 160++ mph. Prop and gear selection for the extra 50 mph is where it gets interesting and you need good engine management.
Hi Nobody:
I like how you did the throttle bodies; the lower position of the turbo made that possible. But I would like to see you using a much bigger intercooler like the one on our twin centrifugal setup that you saw at LOTO last year. It's available for all the turbo guys looking for this much power, with a modified Dart tunnel ram intake.
Thanks,
Tom

Here are some pics of the intercoolers I made for a set of turbo motors. Every square inch of it is core.

Yeah, we have the PSI 206 B compressors. So, the age old question, how fast is white lightning?

I honestly keep having a fuel pressure issue when I try and reach for the big #. The boat had set along time and just continues to need our love,seems as soon as we fix or make something better we have another small issue,no big deal we will get thier,takes time as you well know. The old man said 128, Roper said 122 that he was in it. WE THINK 117-120 with the current set up since we are making a little more power. I hope. It is a rough water boat all the way,and we are planning for bigger power in 08.
What do you think of Brad's design,impressive to say the least,and made real power early on?????
