What is the fastest 272SR1
I would like to know what is the fastest late 80s Formula 272SR1 anyone knows of? What motors and HP did it have?
I have now managed to hit 93.1 mph with 135 gal fuel and two persons in my 89 Formula 272SR1!:D I am running 454s with Whipples and would estimate I am making about 600 - 650 HP each. |
You may be the about the fastest. I have never heard of an older 272 topping 93. I guess you have some pretty smooth water to run in.
We have both a 272 and a 357 and I sure wouldn't want to be running 90 in that 272 across some big water. I bet that is one blast to drive. |
That's the fastest I've heard about.

Fastest I've ever heard too. Can I borrow some???????

Cay,
Just curious...what props and what rpms??? |
Mopower looks like you`ll be in second:D :D

On the conditions it actually wasn't too nice at all. Take a look at some of the photos from the poker run www.mdr.ky or www.vibefm.ky we had on Monday and you will see what I mean. I have just recently replace the gimbals and drives and with the new gimbals it handles a lot better.
I am running Bravo I 30s labbed by York and turning them 5700 with 1.5 ratio. This thing accellerates like a rocket.:D When I ran 93.1 this was without the trim I usually run for top speed as it was a little too nasty to trim it out all the way. I also had a full tank of fuel at the time. I am confident It will run 95+ light and trimmed out. |

Here is a picture of us launching of a wave at about 75mph in the poker run.
Mopower do you have on your silent thunder platform? When I removed mine i gained 7mph. I knew that exhaust was an issue for me though. |

Usually it's little , to no gain at all. And yes mine's still there. My 540s exact dyno readings were 648.7hp @5688 and 689.1 ft lbs @4174. Got (borrowed)28 unlabbed Bravos right now. Hope to try it this weekend. Masi, Second is fine:). That way you're not the one eveybody tries to beat;) |
