I have some friends that I boat with, or talk to on a regular basis, who don't build engines for a living, but build their own stuff. And yet, some of these guys, have absolutely, some bad azz running hardware. From guys like Billy Boats and his 140 plus mph Fountain, Kvogt with his 100 plus mph old school arneson flatdeck that is a work of art in itself, the Parvey boys, and so many more I can't even begin list it. Some of these guys, have been there and done that several times over, and tested and debunked many theories, and yet, these guys, are constantly discredited by other guys, because they technically are not "professionals".

Being new at this, I wouldn't soley focus on who does what for a living, because those of us who have been around a bit, know that, just because one builds engines for a living, doesn't make his advice, gospel. There have been decades of failures, incorrect combos, lies, cheat, and many other things by certain "professionals'. Nor would I rely solely on the advice given here, as gospel. Some of this stuff, you have to learn from experience, and you may not get it right the first time. Just as many of these "weekend warriors", have had to learn the hard way.

Something to remember, everyone started somewhere, and history shows, some of those most successful offshore racing teams, dating back many many years ago, were average guys, who simply had a passion for this sport. It wasn't based on who had a Tax ID number for conducting business. I wouldnt be so quick to discredit those who do this stuff on the side. There's some pretty bad azz guys around...who only do this stuff on the weekends. Often times, the first boats to the card stop, were put together by these "weekend warriors".

I realize its the offseason. but there are a few that need to either phuck or fight, so they can get it out of their system so we all can get back to enjoying internet boating......

I was actually was thinking about the 800cfm quick fuel - i swapped to a edelbrock carb from the stock Qjet -had issues with Qjet - really helped the motor - not a fan of "stock" holleys, but i like the QF

I dont want to lose alot of low end so i was looking to keep cam near the 225-235ish duration with 112-114 lobe sepration - also looking at split lift/duration to help on the exhaust side of this - i have straight thru hull with no baffles
