Hey guys looking for some input on blue printing my 2000 AE 3100
She has nasty hooks in here. I had my v-bottom blue printed and it made a difference in speed and handle. it went faster but made it a little loose. I just did not want to make her un drive able.Any input would be great. Un charter waters here on cats???? I know some companies put them in for handle issues? She has dyno at 600hp 625 pounds of torque. I am running 110mph on my gps. 5500rpm on 4 blade merc ( 34 ) Rev limiter is at 6000. Trying for more speed without added horsepower . we all are!!!!!She was rigged in 2007 with new power and drives by Adrenaline powerboats in ga. she has extension boxes on her .Drives are standard nose cone. It appears there is a slip issue here? I was told I had a 22% on 34's and What is the formula to figure this out? and What slip should I be looking for?What is correct X- dimension? Should I be looking into Imco drive set up?I would like to get her to 115-118. Long term goals would like to go 125mph w/out blower!!!! Am I dreaming

Help wanted!!!!!!

ALSO i FORGOT TO TELL YA GEAR RATIO IS 1.5 WHAT WOULD YOU RECOMMEND FOR THAT HORSEPOWER ? 1.36 1.34 ???
THANKS BC

Raylar Engine has a 765hp n/a motor. With standoff boxes, IMCO SCX drives with 1.36 gears and five blade props I think you could get to 125.

Almost forgot, Dart has a new 765ci block. With the right parts it should make 900hp, even with EFI. That should get you close to 140.

damn man, I thought I was the only 31 on lanier. My motors are 600's im turning 5600 at 102mph. 1.50 with 34 4-blade. Which boxes do you have? imco or stellings? Think I could come take a look at your setup sometime?

mine is blueprinted and speed sanded on bottom took out hook and sharpened strakes picked up 5mph no other changes runs almost 130 with pup motors 510's hyd roller canfield heads 871 blown 12 psi boost 6500 rpm 1.36 imco 2" short on imco boxes with tunnel flap 32x15.5 hydromotives with no difuser ring x dim 2" above bottom of boat hope this helps your boat must be light mine rigged is 7500 lb with full tanks of fuel
