Mine is good for about 95 as well and I think that sounds about right. I also think your original owner had a fast truck.

Don't know. I wasn't there, so I won't question his integrity. I did have more throttle at 95, so I'm sure there was more speed, especially if you lightened the load. The important thing to me was the incredible ride at that speed without turning crazy RPM. Thx for the feedback.

That's one of the best, real-life statements I've seen on the site. What many are looking for in the end.

Thinking about putting mine on the market - or trying to find some stock power. Anyone have any leads on some 525 or 575's?

Thanks. I'm an old guy and really don't care about going tripple digits. BUT, mid-90s in a 37' wave crushing v-bottom is an awesome experience. Everybody ought to try it at least once!!

I am with you there - I had a power issue so I didn't get to run it after the Shootout when it gets crazy. However, Wednesday through Saturday morning it was a wave crushing machine. We were a little late getting to the fun run and found ourselves in a lot of wash off of the rocks. I looked over at my co pilot and he was drinking coffee while we were running over 80.
What power do you have in yours to reach Mid 90's plus? I have/had a couple of dyno proven 630hp - XR drives - 31 4 blade bravo 1's and didn't quite see those numbers. I tried some 34 bravo 1's but they would blow out right before I could get on plane.
