My 292 in a poker run

What don't you see......The bow in the air coming on plane.
You gotta get weight off the rear.There is a lot of others I won't post them all but you can look through the account.

What exhausts did you go with. Looks like it made a big difference.

PS. Was that a Fountain you paced off the starboard side?

C_Spray 09-13-2010 07:13 AM

That run looks familiar...

Nice to meet you, Tim. Nice boat!

Imco aluminum but its not any added horsepower may have picked up a little mid range but the main thing is weight.it takes 270lbs of the very rear of the boat.The boat on my starboard side was a 32 Fever.

Same here your batboat flys.

Flyin-Bryan 09-13-2010 09:47 AM

according to your speedo you were running 65 m.p.h.,is this correct?

oh6662b 09-13-2010 05:16 PM

so im guessing about 2500 for the aluminum headers

Digital Jams 09-13-2010 10:36 PM

Nice!

Thanks for posting the vids, you had a great morning to run fast.

I thought the 292 came with Corsa ss exhaust? Your boat did look really good coming out of the hole.

Probably was still winding out.Takes a few miles to get the last few.

Not headers just replacement to the stock manifolds but aluminum.$906.00 a side and you need the ECM,and the shift bracket.

They have corsa pipes from the mercury cast iron manifolds and risers.I eliminated them and just ran 4" exhaust hose from the riser to the tips.I blocked off the prop exhaust with plugs I got from cp performance and removed one baffle from each tip.

Sorry for OT - but what do you meen by "you need the ECM"?
If you are referring to a new or updated control unit, why do you need to change this? So far people told me not to expect any additional power by this mod, but instead the benefit is weight of the rear. In such case I would think the original programming would do?

And to stay on topic, in this clip you can see my 292 far away in a Poker Run while I'm chasing the lead. I really like this as I am going way faster than the rest of the field. Unfortunatly I'm not in there for long, but watch closely to the left in a far distance between 0:56 and 1:00 in the movie.

Here's another from the same Run, where I'm coming in first: (watch at 0:26)

Crappy clips I know, but It's the best I've got :)

Expensive Date 09-14-2010 07:23 AM

Sorry I was not clear,You need the bracket for the ECM and the shift linkage.As both are now bolted to the riser.

What does the boat run?

Low 70s but I need perfect conditions and a long strait run.

Do you possibly have the link or part number for the prop exhaust plugs from CP????? :drink:

08 fastech 292 09-14-2010 12:22 PM

Was that a DIY job or did you have someone install them?

O.k.,thanks,I was trying to figure the other boats speed,do you run according to boat length type class?

No this was something our club NJPPC tried run was limited to 32 ft and under.
Could probably go faster but the added weight of the life vest and kill switches (that I always wear) slow me down.

You use your own(from the boat) rubber and just tighten the clamps.They work great,If I ever have the engines out I will pull the Y- pipes but I am not taking the engines out just to do that.

I did it myself hard to say how long it took because while I had it apart I did plugs impellers.fuel filters and thermostats.But if you have everything I would probably say a day.It is bolt on but there are some changes that have to be made.I had to redrill a few holes in the ECM bracket and you can not use the corsa mid pipes.I just went 4'hose from the risers to the transom tips.There are a few other little things that I will go over with you if you decided to do it.
A lot depends on your mechanical ability its not hard but I have played with engines all my life.
Also keep in mind your boat is newer this technically void your warranty.I had a riser start leaking at the end of last season so thats the main reason I did this I never expected it to make the boat come out of the water faster like this.

Thanks, makes sense.
