Testing the 36 tomorrow
 

The boat is ready at Full Throttle Marine. Just did head work, cam, bumped up the compression, bumped the rev limiters, did the valve springs/valve job, added adjustable timing chains and head gaskets, my couplers were shot so they were replaced. Doing the sea trial tomorrow, hoping to pick up a few mph. I dreamed last night I got to the ramp and forgot my props, there loaded in the truck now :D Ill report back tommorrow when i get some gps results. :evilb:

The sites been down everytime i tried to get on.

We need to work on the carb tuning. It accelerated VERY nice, but only saw 1mph increase. It hits a wall at 5450. The plugs were fouling out due to it being too rich and it smelt like a gas tank idling.

Also, my props need a little cup as the front of the boat was dragging (due to the a/c we think) and julie at throttle up thinks i can pull the slip down 2%.

Were wondering if the carbs are too small to go to 5600. It had a ton of power, and stopped at the 5450 mark.

Ill keep you updated on it all. Im also thinking of pulling the a/c pickup thats on the bottom. that thing is huge.

So not there yet, but getting closer. The 731 cams sounded very nice along with the bump in compression.

What size carbs? The stock Holleys? I had to go to a 1050 Dominator to get my 502 to spin 6000.
