Hats off to Mike, 102.5 !!!!!!( My new Hero ) !!!!!

[MDGperformance]

My y2k has run close to 95 light on fuel on a good day,with 800 na hp and konrad,I think with a supercharged engine making 850-875 would easily hit 100,the reason i am thinking this is my 800na motor makes about775tq while a blower engine making 850hp usually makes the same amount of tq,also i have only tried a couple of props on my boat,might be a little left,also i would like to try and raise propshaft up(konrad has a prototype drive 1 shorter than my unit)the reason i think this might help is when I installed a 1 spacer boat lost 5-6mph.The y2k runs great with the konrad and could easily run 100 with reliable power

It didn't I orderd it blank.Sold it, and the original owner never rigged it.To my suprise its still around and the new owner wants to go ahead with it.

Yes Rick, Mike shared with me around the time of the CT River Run. Vary impressive numbers for sure!

Good info,thanks
How hi did you mount the drive? I wonder if the new bottom reacts differently with drive height

Everybody has a good day once and a while. Going from 90 to 100 is not the same as 75 to 85. You mite need 100hp more to go from 75-85 but 150hp to go from 90-95. The faster you go the harder it is to make that number. MDG has done the most testing with the konrad. He has the answers on that setup.

My boat is 2007 with the new hull design,my propshaft is 2 below bottom,I am running the ace set up with the x factor lower,runs perfect we boat in the cheasapeake bay which is most of the time rough so all out top speed not that important,my engine is na just making 800hp at around 6000,peak torque around 775,the new bottom is very efficient and i am sure it would pick up some speed with some more hp and torque

I wonder how MDG,s konrad boat stacks up to Gary,s bravo Superbaby? Both have 800hp. MDG,s top speed of 94 at 6000rpm rite / wrong ? And Gary,s top speed of 94 at Im guessing 5500 rite / wrong ? Lets get the prop slip numbers for both and see how good both setups are !!
