more satisfying to me personally than showing off blue paint to other guys...
the same blue paint in thousands of other bilges

That only applies if you aren't married.

You can always swap the cams, send the ECUs to Whipple, and drill out the air bleed hole in the throttle plates and you have HO's.

If you are really that happy to crack the big Seven O, you are likely on crack!

Far as Twins goes, you do need a speed edge to ensure that you can clear the mid 70's disco pop chit that most of us now wish we could just forget ever happened in the first place.
God take us back to the good old days when perf boats had more HP than Watts.

I've got 502s in mine and it gets in the low 70s depending on the load, but I wish she had more in her, even though it's been out of warrany a long line I just didn't want to break the factory seal on it.
