I have to figure something out for the vent openings to let air in but cut the noise for the back seat. In the front bolsters it's not bad.

I remember a few years back running over to Catalina and back during the SCOPE poker run in a Tiger with Teague 1000's and 6's. Had the Jeg style scoops with open intakes (obviously). I was in the rear starboard side, running basically wide open all the way there and back. My left ear rang for two days after!:eek:

Totally worth it though!:drink:

I'm really excited for our trip saturday. We got stuff for us and the kids ready to go. Life Jackets. Kool Aid - purple - so spills will blend in and cheetoos - I heard the baked ones don't stain... $20 bucks for gas, a six pack and the porta potty!!! I forget anything? I got a hair cut so my mullet doesn't get sucked in. See you saturday - I'll try and get the kids and Stef moving early.

Beautiful boat. Three years is a long time when you are working on a project, but IMO from what I see it's definately worth it. Great work. You have to grin from ear to ear each time you get in that beauty!!

I don't keep track of hours but I pull the motors after two or three seasons. I don't run a real aggressive profile of a cam but use Isky tool room springs, very good valves, and Tand D shaft rockers.

I also spend time on the details of the oiling system and don't run the motors real lean.

Kris

Awesome. I can't run my engines like that. The oil gets too hot. What oil coolers are you using? Do you have a dedicated water pump for your oil cooler? What about your Transmission Cooler?
