lets see truck pull wide open 6 to 10 seconds for a pull realy close to what a boat runs and not high winding at 7000 rpm last time I looked 6000 was high in a boat and peak torgue at 5500 was close to wide open. this stuff has to to stop really lets get real this is not a long life boat motor. we all know the valve train is the weak link in a boat this valve train has probably huge rocker arms .if it is a hemi head design take look at the hemi the exhaust rocker is about 6 inches long I have my doubts wish them all the luck just my three cents worth happy new year.

jim,the rocker system is not the same as a chrysler hemi.this cyl head style is not a new thing,sonny lenord and others have used it for quite some time.if you look at the bore&stroke and the block bore spacing you will see it is a large engine.1300 hp on pump gas is not working this engine and will make this power at a pretty low boost level.imo this engine will have a fairly long life hour wise partially because of it,s size.i love the ls platform but imo,this engine is in a different ball park.also,this engine is out of reach price wise for most boaters.i hope to have a pair of these in my next lifetime.no way i will ever be able to afford it in this one.

The boat has had zero motor issues.. It has taken a little time to workout the cooling of the motor(pickups and strainer) Of all people I'm sure you are able to call Pete for the facts. No need to be a keyboard cowboy.. btw peak torque is 4800 which is pretty much standard
