How did the clear plastic protectors do??
How are the intercoolers being fed with water?? If water is always being pumped through them it can cause fuel puddling and a rich condition. |

For one ride I cut off flow but it didn`t seem to affect them much.... but I didn`t have enough time to play with tune. Water at idle really makes such a big difference? |
Thats one of the nicest Flat Decks out there. Love it!

Saw Dan's hot rod @ LOTO this yr.....she's sweet......your behind Bud my engines are already out....:D

So you put hook in it? Interesting. But if the wedge is only outside of the lifting strakes it comes out of the water at higher speeds? Makes sense. |
Dan, boat looks even more amazing in person. Enjoyed seeing you all at PBC Fall Harbor Hop with Kyle Lewis. |

Dan, Did the wedge change your cruising speed or hurt top end much? I'm interested in doing the same. IMO, even if it did cost a mph or two on the big end, It would be worth it to increase cruising efficiency where I'm normally dragging tab... |

Yep, especially if they were tuned for idle without the chillers and especially with the cool water temps of Lake Michigan.
VortechSS , by all accounts I lost 3 mph on the big end and nowhere else. Actually picked up 3mph at cruise (different ratio drives) However totally worth it , she flies straight and the hop is gone. Tfarmer turned me on to this mod and sold me his 5`s. Those Canadian farmers... they`re alright |

I was at ROTO with 80* water but yes, 3 turns out on the carbs vs. 1.5 without chillers. I`ll be re rigging that set up. with engines in it is hard to put in a separate pickup.

I changed pulleys from -3% to over drive the blower at 2%. ends up being about the sme boost (7psi) with chillers. At the end of the day trying to make this heavy 80`s era boat fast is a waste of time. I got 90mph out of her once. I`m fine with that. At this point reliability is my main concern.

I like the Trump towels and bumper covers, thats great!!!
|
Nice upgrades! Always enjoy seeing the continued progress on builds, thanks for sharing!
|
That's one badass Cigarette ICD. Well done Cig brother
|
Does the clear film provide any better traction for walking on without slipping ? What ratio do you have with the new drives?
|
Looking good Daniel, Its gotta be the nicest tank out there! You’ve set the bar brother! I’m really hoping someone buys Beast and does that thing justice... Have a good Thanksgiving. |
Don't use mr. gasket anything........:D

1.53 according to speed/rpm. Old ratio was 1.49. |

wow, starving that engine of oil, that could have got expensive.... I've always had good luck with felpro, and no cork for me
|
Pressure was fine at low rpm but started to decrease after 3500. Now it`s obvious why .
I`ve used the one piece gaskets in the past and those damn things leaked. Tried the cork, no leaks but then this so this time I`ll go: https://www.hardin-marine.com/p-1177...evy-gen-4.aspx |

Can’t believe how clean that thing is. Add steps? 😁 |
