And 106 pages later, Eric is on the water!!!!!!!!!! Congratulations Eric, Eddie and the Fountains!!!

Right at 6000 rpm. Boost is a little higher with those 6 blade cleavers since they bite really hard. Ended up with 11 psi at 6000. It's fine on 93 but I would like to check it out with 91 before I declare it safe. I think it would be OK, but it is pushing the limits of the octane a little. I can always drop an 1/8" in pulley and it should be fine with 91 octane. As it sits, it didn't even think about hitting the knock sensor. It never even breathed on it.

I would say that they are knocking on 1100 hp with the boost at 11 psi. They made 1020 hp with just less than 9 psi, so another 2+ psi should be worth approx. 75 hp or so.

Unreal. Eddie, you are the MAN!!

Good stuff guys!!

Congratulations Eric! I know how it feels to bleed money into a boat and believe in people that continuously let you down.

So what did the water pressure problem turn out to be and the solution? I know early on in this thread there was praise for the Fountain pick-ups. I am needing to update mine when I decide to pull the trigger. I was looking at Teague and Stainless options.

What was the final verdict on the reason the Crockett motors wouldn't perform/last...fuel delivery?

We put some restrictors in the tailpipes to slow the water down a little so it had time to transfer the heat. Reggie also modified the lead-in right in front of the pickup and lowered the pickup some to give it a little more water. That did the trick. The water temp stayed at 110 and the oil never went above 220. The pickup worked great. There is no bounce or fluctuation in water pressure at any time.

As far as the previous engines failing, well, I'll leave that one alone. Eric and Gavin know all the details of what was found when we took them down. Every builder has their own way of doing things. There is ALMOST always more than one way to get something done. However, there are some things that are just wrong and won't work no matter what. There was some of each going on. I won't get into details because it's not my style. If Eric or Gavin would like to then they have the right. That's up to them.

HaHa 1100 was my guess.. So I must win the perv cleavage picture award ha ha.. Only 90,000 more hits and this thread will reach a half mill. Lets keep it rolling here..

Very nice Eddie.
Ya, 11psi on 91 might just be pushing the envelope a tiny little bit on a hot day and a long run. All in all, sounds like a real nice package you built.

Congrats Eric, you're a boater again.
