BL Whats up?


Parnell

What's up stranger?!!! Me and Phil were just wondering how you and the wife are doing? Stop by the Wharf when you get a chance!

CJ

Way back when, my 20 had a 406 pushing a little over 400 HP and it topped out right around 75 @ 5200 running a tweaked 4 blade Hydromotive which really worked well in the day, compared to the Cleavers and Mirages, which was about all there was back then. (almost 25 years ago now) Anyway, I know Hydromotives back then ran even sized pitches and I'm pretty sure I was swinging a L24.

Not sure if this helps, but if you drop the pitch and you don't notice a quick change in rpm, check your fuel real quickly and ensure you're not starving it on top. I'm just kind of surprised you're not able to swing a 23 with that much power? I can't fathom you're not running a 1.5 gear, so something doesn't seem to be adding up.

Good luck!

Haha, yeah it does sound really good. I love to hear it idle as well. It just allllllmost sounds like it's going to die....pop pop pop pop :drink:

Hey guys ..... how do the 20 Cig. and the 22 Donzi compare ?

Has anyone pulled a 454 motor out of a 20 cig with TRS tranny? Very tight and was worried if there is enough room?

Rick
Glad to hear. I will be there so be safe and see you soon
