Savage HP vs. Speed
 

Just Curious, i'm getting closer to pulling the trigger on a HP upgrade (cams and heads). Just wanted to get an educated guess on what increase in speed I will get by adding conservatively speaking 120HP total would I net. Of course this would include new prop's...again.

~10 mph would be my guess

Andy- I added just over 300 horsepower to the Fountain when I did it and picked up about 15 mph...just sayin'....

I've read 15-20hp =1mph

Yeah, but that was a Fountain not an AT. :lolhit: I hear you loud and clear. Not sure I want to open up 580 hour small blocks for 10 mph and cool sound factor. Should probably start putting $$$ away for it's replacement instead.

Cool! This will be VERY interesting to some of us.....or-r-r... maybe just me.

Good luck Andy

Save your $ for a pair of Ls small blocks

I'm thinking XM270HR Cams, Heads, Total Seal Rings, Bearing refresh, and MEFI Burn might be a couple dollars less then say.......2 new engines. Unless you have a couple to spare? :drink:

120 hp 5-6 mph tops

Replacement? Of the boat or the engines?

The boat.. eyeing 37's. Just need to find the "right" one. My kind of luck is I go through these engines and it pops up.

AB--Let me know if you get serious about selling your savage...I would definately be interested in talking to you about it a little more

people will fight over that 28 if it goes on the market !

The above link looks like a GREAT candidate for the "right one"!

I too would be interested in your boat if and when you go to sell her.

I love that boat.

Unfortunately this is currently out of my reach. I have a great boat here so definitely not rushing things either. Unless.....

28s are hard to come by :party-smiley-004:

Mine will be in the classifieds in the next week or two.
