Dustin, Would there be any advantage to converting my Teague 1200s with the 5.0 Whipple to this set up. I always loved the throttle response of the quad set ups that I have run. What would be involved in the conversion. What would be expected on pump gas.

At 1200hp, no real advantage and hard to pulley properly. SC's would almost run 1:1.

Thanks

Any difference in running the blowers as the 5.0 or the 8.3.

If they go in the boat in the thread by LESSONLEARNED the drives are either Arnesons or BPMs. I don't think any Merc drive can hold that power.

1610hp @ 11psi @ 7000rpm. Motors are just monsters.

What kind of incredible heads ? what cam ?

With the angle of the valves and lifters on big chief style heads. what would est rebuild time be? no race gas set with a pump gas tune?

Thanks, just curious, I know other people running that kind of stuff. Very nice.

Really comes down to rpm, some of the others are getting 1400+hp on pump gas and typically go 75-125hrs depending on the DC of the engine.

They're different big chiefs then most run and the cam is not very big considering the power.
