Went to SS headers in 2014. Probably would have went with the Stainless marine as several people have made big power through them, and I think they are probably a bit more robust. Didn't know this at the time.

I'll see if I can catch you guys on the dock this year. I'd love to look at the boat.

How much do you think the 1/2 mile events are going to affect things for you guys?

Didn't see this thread till now, glad there is one highlighting how awesome that boat and setup really is. Just crushed the other boats of that class! When I heard that a black thunder beat a brand new SV 43 my jaw about hit the floor and I almost didn't believe it, and that was before I knew what speed they were running!

A real inspiration to the guys who love tinkering with there setups rather than just cutting a check for something faster. Keep it up, maybe there's another 15mph hiding somewhere...
