I'm looking forward to seeing how Dawg's run...should be interesting for sure.

JaayTeee 02-02-2010 10:13 AM

Mines just got the stock
Weiand 256 blowers that
came on the 575SCi's.

I think they're only 4-5 psi

502 c/i
Dart Iron eagle heads
Gellner spec'ed HR camshaft.

Hp estimate...650-675 ??

Pic's.....they look exactly like any stock 575SCi

Oh....and I have one of Jason's stickers too ;)

Jason it STILL baffels me that you got all that under the hatch.
Hell I dropped the power ster res cap once in my 29 and had to hold the wife UPSIDE down to grab it.
Very nice.!

Dawg's boat ought to run like a rapped ape. Ben thinks it should make 900hp pretty easy with an aggressive tune & a little more boost.
We'll know in a few weeks. I think it is close to being done.

It is tight, but it is workable.
I blew up a water hose on Saturday at the Shootout. I couldn't pull the hose out so now there is a broken hose & a new hose in there. Only took 3 hours to change it.
Normally, I pull the upper back seat out & take off the manifold. That gets the Whipple out of the way & then stuff more accessible that way. It is not necessary, but helps in making more room.
Honestly, the Dana exhaust is the biggest room hog in there.

It may be a member of the 90+ club if he is brave enough to take it there.

Dawg's no fool,but if it'll get to 90+ safely he'll take it there...NO FEAR

What length boat?

25 Outlaw.
Ben is putting together a 3.3L, .25" stroked 454 for Scott.
It will make big power the way Ben is thinking.

25OL with full hydraulic steering,extension box,Imco SC upper, Imco -2 shorty. I'll just be glad he'll have a turn key boat for once he's had a rough 3yrs

The 25 is a pretty sound hull very simliar to the 272. I know of two 272's capable of running in the 90's and one that has broke triple digits.

That will be a sweet setup for sure.

Scalded Dawg 02-02-2010 08:55 PM

I hope so Dock......:ernaehrung004: I have had nothing but bad luck with it since I met you at the 1st Thunder At The Lake at the LOTO and tore it up.........:mad: Picked the wrong engine builder and have been jacked up for 2 years...:hitfan: It's in the right hands now and am finally looking forward to some turnkey boating for a change.......:kiss::drink:

Hey Hey Hey

Sorry I did not know who they were referring to but now I do. I hate you have had a bad go of it but maybe there are some good days ahead real soon now.

Sounds like you are building some SERIOUS HP.

Good luck and keep us posted. I'll look forward to seeing Jason sticker on your boat!

Take care
Doc

Damn Dawg, if you get to 90+ someone from INDY will be watching you go by saying:bsflag::lolhit:

Dock Holiday 02-03-2010 07:23 AM

I will say that Jason's engine guy really seems to know his stuff. If Jason cannot break them they have to be good!:lolhit:

I met Ben at Lake travis a few years back with Jason and he was asking questions about my motors that were so damn far above my head that I know I looked pretty stupid. But if I could have answered his questions I would be competing with him building motors.

Cannot wait to see the FASTEST 25 OL on the water!

Here is my setup--

540 CI
Whipple 2.3 side mounts
about 5 psi boost for now.....
800 hp at 5500 rpm
875 ft lbs at 3800 rpm

Machine work done by my friend Tim
Cams from Bob Madera/ aka RM Builder
Fuel mapping done by Mark at Precision Marine , Kenner LA
Drives built by Mr. Gadgets
I assembled motors and rigged entire boat.

Scalded Dawg 02-03-2010 10:00 AM

Thanks Doc, I could use all the luck I can get........:drink:

Will, not for sure if the boat will run 90.........:eek: I wish it would but am more concerned with more than 400 hours of turnkey boating........:ernaehrung004: It was supposedly 700hp last go around and best I saw 80gps......:traurig001: Don't think his Dyno was accurate......:lolhit: Just keeping my fingers crossed! I'm sure Ben will hook me up........:Score-101010:

You let him really turn it up the way he wants to & it will run.
It doesn't have to stay that way all the time, but it might be fun for the Shootout.

Smitty 02-03-2010 10:35 AM

Thanks Dock !!!

I have to do my own work, otherwise I would have a 18 footer with a V-6 :eek::eek::grinser010:

Just because I didn't have a good run at the loto don't question how fast my boat is. If you want to find out you will have plenty of time at st. clair.:lolhit:

I dont question how fast it is. I know its faster than mine so I have nothing to talk about. I was just stirring the pot.

I know you are but if I have to get poked at all winter then I can at least give some back.:ernaehrung004: I did learn a lot this year. Hoping my second year with the boat will be better.

I think you mean 10-71's. There is no such animal as a 10-14 to my knowledge.
Aren't you the guy who bought Brozivich's motors?

Are those "suckers" or "blowers"?

empire0007 02-04-2010 07:13 PM

Hello there,
Yes, but trashed those motors and sold some of the parts and ended up building a new motor. I corrected it after typing it. They are 14-71's

Last summer i was able to open it up once in the ocean and with 5 pounds of boost and 5100 RPM i was at mid 90's, running labbed 30's. I have changed the boost to 7.5 pounds and going to try with the same prop and see what kind of RPM i'm getting. I might have to do a lab 28's I will know if a month or so when the weather gets better.
