just a lil more info for ya. my Motor on the dyno made 568 peak at 5400. I currently have a 24 pitch bravo prop that has been worked with alot more cup. and i can spin it to about 53-5400 and it runs 70mph. i thought id have been able to spin it much higher, but i guess the hull design has alot to do with that. Seen alot of boats with less power than mine run faster. Good luck with the setup. I have several friends that are big with the LS motors and have considred if my my motor ever really granades that would be a real good idea. Personally i think id have to stroke it. since tq is more needed than top end hp in a boat. Trying to make too much hp at a high rpm wont give you the results your looking for. Keep us posted and id love to see pics once ya get it done.
