And again, thank you Eddie. I bet you never in your wildest dreams thought you would be dealing with someone as twisted and phuckd up as me....lol.
At first I was a lil dissapointed with the 1020HP numbers (yes Griswald you win...lol). But after talking to you and having you explain the pulley/belt situation it makes perfect sense. I have no doubt that they will be 1050+ with the 3.25 pulley and a smaller belt.
The thing that I respected the most was that you were nothing but brutally honest with the numbers. You flat out told me "1020 is what I can tell you now". After all that my brother and I have gone through on this boat, and all the false promises and outright lies, I cant thank you enough for your honesty.

It's been a fun project. Different at times, but fun none the less.
Thank youEddie

Think about it a measly 1000+ hp on pump gas and it will last how many hrs , Im sure Eddie can remember back when you could maybe get 50-100 ? hrs on a high hp engine . Its funny when people ask you how much power you have in your boat and you tell them and there eyes pop and then the blank look on theyre face its great , or they assume you got the big 454s in there dont ya .

Hey Dean, I probably asked you this already...but as you all know I drink a lot and forgot pretty much everything anyones tells me....but, what was the best speed you saw on your old setup with SCX uppers and SC lowers?
