I went to Joeys yesterday. The motors look incredible. Showroom !!! But they wont be ready for 2 more weeks..The wife is upset . So we will see yall at the next run !!!

Pics?

I thought about that camera the entire way .!!! haha

I will have some good numbers by this weekend. One of the drives broke putting it into gear. We got to aprox 107 MPH @ 5000 RPM and it had me pinned in the seat! I didnt get to top it out. Im spinning the motors to 5800 so hopefully I get to strech it out in a few days!

another guy just broke his drive putting in gear. A 38? with blowers/ surge.

I think its the same guy.

Yup its me.....I also talked to the engine shop that dynoed and tuned my motors, he is going to try and get some of the surge out of them.

I got to run my boat all day without problems! Well,somewhat. I didnt break down! I got up to 115 MPH @ 5500 RPM and my fuel pressure was dropping so I backed out. I replaced my mechanical fuel pumps with new 172 GPH pumps and running around all day was fine except when I tried to top it out. I made several 110 MPH passes but when I stayed in it to find out how fast it was going to go my fuel pressure dropped to around 4 PSI @ 5500 RPM so I backed out. I have 1/2" fuel lines and 172GPH mechanical pumps, what should I do from here? I'm assuming the higher the RPM @ WOT the more fuel its requiring and I am coming up short?

I would think about going with electric pumps and a return line, also what size is your tank pickup?

Had a great time this weekend with you all. Your boat ran and looked GREAT....congratulations.!!!! I would suggest electric fuel pumps for that size engine.


How is the new truck?!?!:evilb:

Jonathan

They are going to check the pick ups in the tanks, I hope thats the problem, that would be an easy fix if they are accessable. Oh yeah, we had to buy a new truck on the way home from Hartwell Saturday evening........The turbo blew and I said F$$$ THIS so we traded it in blown up!!! Love it so far Jon.......havent got to put many miles on it though....ha ha....

a couple of years ago i drove jerry sorintino's 35 fountain. i think it was a 97 or 98 single step with about 650 horse that teague setup. it ran just shy of 100 and was just as rock solid as my 38. i would love to see how a 35 with 900 horse would run

There was some people who said it was too much and others said you could put more, but it felt great @ 115 MPH. It didnt do anything crazy and felt perfectly as if it was 90 MPH. I feel it will do a solid 120 MPH when then fuel problem is resolved. I also sent my props back, I was running 31 P5X's. Im going with 30 P5x's to get the RPM up a little higher. The motors dont make 900 HP until around 5800 RPM, so thats what im after.

Congrats, sounds like a great combination!

Congrats. I'm glad it worked out.

I just allways shifted in the down cycle on mine.But mine would not idle smooth below 1000. It surged from 600-1300.

Congrats on the speed , post some picks :drink:
