thanks cosmic yeah I'm fired up. As you can tell I am a charter member with only a few posts. I don't post much but had to tell this on the AT forum. I have tried stuff like this with other brand boats but have not gotten the response from the hull like the AT. Starting with a great running hull made the gains possible. :D

Tom,
Congrats on the numbers! You have come a long way since that first dyno pull! Great example of analyzing data and making it work for you!

Regards,

Bob

Bob, thanks buddy. You started me off in the right direction with the heads and cam. I'd still be flailing w/o your help. Thanks again.

Hey Tom, I experienced the same thing (ride attitude) when I added my nose cones/-2" shorties. I would say 90mph with what you have is hallin' the mail!

I'm impressed---especially with the GIL manifold exhaust system, 92* air temps and flat water! You'll go even faster in a 1-2 foot chop---and lower air temps too!

Congrats---HAVE FUN!

thanks mark. I have watched your posts and gained a lot of info from your insight.

With that power you might want to try a set of 32 props and go even faster i would think you could pick up a few more.:D

Thunderstruck 05-15-2007 07:20 AM

Yeah Rick I will be on the lookout for some 32's to try. Interesting thought.

In addition to pics please let us know your setup, type blowers, drives etc. Sounds like a great ride.
