28 Heat Mph

[crowntow]

what mph does a 28
heat run w/stock 496?

[johnlomant]

64-68 gps depending on elevation and conditions but the new carbon kevlars are suppose to run into the 70's

About 30 mph less than a 540 pro-charged Heat. I love suprises-don't you???

Cant wait for the regatta its going to be a blast. I hope to have the boat running by then.

[I DIG IT !!]

I have a 02 Nordic Heat with a Whippled 496ho and it runs high 70's on gps. I ran 63 to 64 stock at 1500 feet. The Whipple made the boat feel and drive soooooo much better. The Heat likes speed and power. The boat and hull did not skip a beat. I think that it woke it up

Dig it, what prop are you running now after installing the whipple?

do you have external steering? are you running an XR bravo drive?

thanks!

Around here (500 ft altittude) that's low to mid 70s boat.
At 5000 ft, you'll have a significant loss in horsepower due low atmospheric pressure. What can you do within reason? Add an intercooler and turn up the boost a little.
BTW, if your boat is a Heat (I think it is), it's a 28'.
