Looks nice and should haul serious butt.
I'm hoping it will be up and running by the weekend, but if history has taught me anything, it's never gonna be ready by the weekend, unless they crank it out all week. Still has to be water tested at Elsinore too.

As in any new setup...taking it easy and checking things over carfully before seeing how fast it runs at WOT will save a ton down the road.
Looks sweet! Have fun.

Thanks, i'm hoping that this set up lasts a long time, so I'll definitely break her in easy.

I have the same motor they run great. They said mine had 760hp and i had it dynoed out here before I put it in the boat and it only mad 715. That correction factor can make a motor look great.
