Hey Eric, as we were going through all of the old nuts and bolts, we found the old motor mount hardware.:lolhit:

Wasn't sure if you wanted me to replace them with something a little more permanent?


Sorry, couldn't resist.:drink:

ASk away. THere are only a few things that I won't divulge. We are using a Mefi 4B ecm. My software is from GM.

I find it much better to tune the engine on the dyno. We can put it through every possible scenerio and load imaginable. I'll start at 2000 rpm with no load. We will maintain 2000 rpm as the load increases until we are at wot at 2000 rpm. That allows us to sweep all the way through the entire throttle range and check the tune. We will then go up about 200-300 rpm and do it again. We'll do that through the entire rpm range of the engine. That is something you can't do in the boat. Usually the only thing that changes from dyno to boat is idle,in and out of gear and throttle tip in. Those items are easily tweaked in the boat.

When tuning in the boat, you can only tune where the boat can load the engine. You can't sweep like we do. That load can change day to day based on the amount of people, fuel, gear, etc. You could tune it one day under one condition and then it be off on another day under different conditions.

Hope that helps explain it a little.
Eddie

Were you considering 1000+ hp 540's in your C/C?

That's like comparing apples to a vacuum cleaner. We are taking about engines that make over 1000 hp. Bet they wouldn't warranty the Verado's for 5 years if they made 700 hp.:lolhit:

He has talked a good talk up till now..Ill give him that....LOL. However, the proof will be when the finished product is running, and runs for more than 9 minutes...which is its previous record.

If it all comes together like Eddie says it will...then the real accolades aka :asskiss: will begin.

Im all your A$$holes are having a good laugh at my expense...:lolhit:

Good luck to all involved, I know it can be a loooong road to success, I hope you are real close this time!

Dave...how does that 353 run with the mods you have? I have a buddy that has a 353 w 502's and some minor mods. Just curious as to how one with a legit set up like yours runs...cuz his is pretty slow...lol.

And thank you for the kind words....I think. :lolhit:

TRL, my motors are N/A low compression designed to run on pump gas, and truly a custom engine. I did all of the rigging myself, adding boxes and shorties. My engine builder is a close friend of mine and we have known each other for 25+ years, so when I decided to do this, his dyno was available to me for 30 days with the first engine to make the most out of what I had. We ended up getting around 650hp out of a 509 gen VI. After a long first summer learning several lessons , they have proven to be very reliable, efficient, and strong. This all started about 4 seasons ago and I am still trying some different combos on the drives, like spacers and props. I have been able to get the boat into the 90's and it seems to have no problem handling it. Who knows, supercharges some day and that elusive triple digits? Maybe!

Eddie... we haven't talked in some time, but I figured since TRL was such a glutten for punishment you may be able to "hide" 50% of my upcoming rebuilds in his bill. Thanks in advance.
