whipple 525 EFI
 

has anyone wipplecharged 29lightning 525 efi.if so
how much hp. what was mph.I have also looked into
R-tech they saying 800hp.both kits are around 12k-14k
before your done.looking for 95mph the boat runs 75-78
depending on the conditions.thanks for any imput.

would be sweet.....but I dont think I would attempt it w/o a conrad in place of my bravoXR

A konrad would be the next step.

Better learn how to drive, because you will definately be outrunning the boats capabilities. Mine runs 92-93 and there had better be no chop. Quick steering is absolutely necessary, and always wear your life vest and hook up the kill switch. These boats chime walk at over 86-88 MPH. Roger

Go to page 4 on Fountain Forum, or do a search for fastest single engine Fountain. Rackster and Chief Fever, on this board, private message or email them, they can give you all you need to know about a 29 running big power.
Saw Rackster run 102 mph, at a radar shootout.

Thanks for info.

rackster at the radar shoot was great, but as he says you really need to know how to drive the boat

I'd be wearing a helmet myself as well! :D I've heard whippling that engine will really shorten its life and that 14k could turn into a whole lot more in the long run. If I had the money, I'd be tempted to try that Raylar HO 750/Konrad ACE package. It's an N/A engine and they say it has up to a 500+ hr service life if you're not WFO 24/7. 765hp is what they're claiming. Retail on the engine is 34k and the drive retails at 28k. Not cheap either way, but it might all equal out in the long run.

I like that idea too....:cool:
