If a Gun went that speed with just 525s in her, I'd own one already. lol

Phil was working on a new side by side TG with 650 Zul's several years back when we were down there and it was running over the century mark (102+ if memory serves me) but the motors were starving for air with the hatch down. He and Ritchie were trying different ways to get additional air into the bilge. Now, obviously, this was with an extreme amount of tweaking from a very knowledgeable guy when it comes to Cigs and one helluva engine builder. Don't know what the final number was on the boat but obviously it would take in the 700hp range to get near that 109 summit.
