The tachs literally swung faster than the throttles lol. Sounds sick when you hit it at 3500 and it goes right to 5100 but doesnt pull past 65 mph. So yeah Mike call Brett so i can use the 25s for my low output 454s lol

After meeting so many great people from the RI/MA area at the Fall River Poker Run, I thought I'd bring this back to the top to see if those folks would like to join us for this GTG at BI. Our group will be running from the Old Saybrook area of CT, but that's not to say others couldn't run together from RI/MA are. Hopefully you guys can join us as it's sure to be a good time!

Assuming there's room, we'll all hopefully be rafting together inside Old Harbor and hangin at Ballards for part of the time. If there's not room in Old Harbor, we'll be bringing the party to New Harbor...

yeah IF you can spin that big of a wheel it takes toqrque to spin the wheel HO is just torque times HP

That thing sounded pretty healthy but its a heavy boat too. Try those worked 26's first.
