Re: 28 Skater lays down 124.4 MPH RUN!
They are 2.5's. I understand that he does have mild porting and that is it. Stock heads, efi, electronics etc. It is ALL ABOUT SET UP! And let me tell you, this guy eats. sleeps and breathes set up. I don't think if we took half of us OSO members and combined the time we spend working on our boats it would equal what Charlie spends on his.
Oh, BTW, T2x was there.

I would like to know how he would do side by side with T2x being he is running right close to that but with 300x's. Meaning would the 300's pull ahead having more accelaration power, or would the 2.5's rev faster?

When I first seen who made the post I was asking How the heck did he take his boat out . I have to admit in that boat at that speed I'd be scared

Biggest speed improvement for Charlie seemed to be the kilo props.
