22' speed runs
Made some speed passed with my boat today, and with the non-mag 454, with a Bravo I, Imco Thumper Exhaust, 23 Mirage+, MSD Ignition, Holley Carb I ran 62 at 4600rpm with quarter tank of gas and just me.
Anybody else running similar setups? Does anyone have a 21 Mirage+? Do you think I'll pick up a few by sizing down?
Thanks

Man, I love the look of your boat, any other pics you can post up? Are your vent covers custom?
I've got a stock 350 mag and I'm spinning a 21 Mirage (Non+) at 4800. I think the + is a little steeper, so it might be a good choice for you.

Yea, my father created those in fiberglass, painted to match the boat. Took some time and alot of work, but really happy with the end result. They have scoops built in to force more air in the engine compartment.
Thanks rchevelle. Im going to see if I can located one to try first...

Do you know what a rev limiter is , a stock 330 is set to 4850, A differnt blade will not make that much of a differnce , A 23 mirage plus is a good blade , a 25 might get a little more but harder to get on plane BEEN THERE DONE THAT have fun

I have a 1998 stock carb'd 454 with a 25p Mirage. I'm only turning around 4,500 RPM, trimmed up, and my max speed is 58. This is with a quarter tank of gas and only me. Thinking about ditching the anchor and the cooler plus run the fuel down to get a true top speed. I hope to put a 23p on this weekend to get my RPMs up. I should be in the 60's is how I feel about it.
