I'm sure aimed at me. I live in the city. I like tunnel rams, and camshafts. Microwaves and 496 truck motors don't get me too excited, but to each their own.

I was always impressed how those small supercat engines performed. What like 510ci, 7500rpm, 750hp ?

What the weight of those Cats, like 9500 lbs or something?

Yep, 510ci maximum, 9.5:1 cr and max weight at the end of the race of 9,500lbs. Very competitive class, cant wait for Key West!

Yes its a real race motor not a pleasure boat sunday bay boat motor. Simple light reliable and lots of horse power for the class. They wouldnt want to go any faster, as long as its a level playing field does it really matter. If it saves lives does it matter 130 or 120.

No different then the SuperVee class its almost to the point the class is getting to fast for the boat. Its not a kilo run its a race boat and the fastest boat every wins the race.
