I ran my 251 with 482 blower set-up, ran 82-84 but with handling issues, no ext steering, so pulled the engine and went back to a mild 509, there are a couple of high H/P 251's that run on the potomac, one ran 114 at the tim's 2 annual radar run a few years ago, here's pic of the pass...don't remember his name...Rob

Isn't that one of the boats posted in that 100mph thread on the Checkmate forum? That drive looks d*mn familiar.

It's the same boat but a complete re-rig of the engine and engine compartment. The hull is a 2001 and it has always been set up with a #6 drive.

How about some details?? Looks absolutely nasty! :evilb:

Nice lookin' rig! Get that thing to the LOTO Shootout. :coolcowboy:

The engine is a bow tie tall deck gen IV. I actually had the same motor in a different twin turbo configuration in a 1997 253 Convincor. It was making about 1200 hp but it was impossible to keep a drive together so I decided to go up to a 300 and rig it with a #6. The engine is now making over 1500hp. I use a Bam 1500 dry sump tranny and the drive is a 1:24 ratio. We're still doing prop testing and think that the boat will be in the area of 115-120. I have seen a best of 114 but that was before upping the power to the current levels. We use Big Stuff3 engine management and also control boost with the ecu.

NOW THATS CRAZY POWER Thanks for sharing and good luck

Only part I don't like about your boat is it gets to speed so fast and then the funs over already. :drink: Ahhhh can't wait for summer.

Ok, you GOTTA bring that to the Shootout this year! That would be a treat to watch! I believe you'd be in the NV2P1 class, but I don't see results for that from last year, so no one may have entered it.

Check300, I believe I met you up on Hardy the day after Hot Boat. I was on a friend's 29 Powerquest. That is a sweet setup you have! Make any changes since then?

Bigger turbos:evilb:
