What type of tabs 280 or 380? Is she stable at 90mph gps?

Our blue 32 project is compleat!!
 
Thanks a lot GLENGEORGE, THE SECRET IS OUT!! Here she is!!:evilb::evilb:
I run the factory 280 tabs and she falls on plan effortlessly. She pulls real hard to 90 and is on rails. I did not take her any more, want to get some hours on before I really stretch her legs. Judging by my stick position at 90mph on gps speedo, we are feeling we are going to break the century mark with ease.:daz:

A set of 500 are a definite jump from the old black 502 mpi's. I was just elaborating on the different avanues one can take when starting to brainstorm different powerplant upgrades. Its a buyers market in this economy and you can go from mild to wild depending on what fits your boating style best. I apologize if I came off the wrong way.
By the way, If you plan on attending the Cayuga Lake Run this summer keep an eye on the "NEW BLUE 32"!!! I just had state of the art mirrior's installed to keep an eye on the pack.:lolhit:

I think you better purchase some state of the art binoculars if you plan on keepin a eye on Holy Cow! Just sayin.

Glen, blue magic,

I think bullhead here on the board has a friend with a 32 that runs at 100 or so,,,,,,, if I remember. Maybe PM him.

Blue magic, I am looking at those pictures on my phone, what is behind the air intake on the side?

I bet that thing accelerates like a rocket.

Wildman grafix, She pulls like a freight train I could not be happier with the way it turned out! On the sides are new chrome air vents to get even more hot dead air out of the engine bay. One of the things I was most impressed with in the engine bay is the way my headers fit. There is a good 4 inches between my pipes allowing for easy spark plug changes and access to block drains. Lightning, cmi, and other header company in which I have seen in the 32 have an 1/8 inch between the headers. Randy at Stellings did a AWSOME job on these and made me a believer as to why they are number 1 when it comes to performance exhaust. You simply not beat custom made headers,they are a work of art:evilb:

I actually think it runs into the 100 teens!

Blue magic any pictures of the cockpit, this is what I was most curious about!

BLUEMAGIC 12-22-2012 01:17 PM

jmoore1225, I just went threw my files and i do not have a good pic of the cockpit. Just to give you an idiea of what alterations have been done in the cockpit are removal of glove box, new glassed in cup holderand grab handle, entire helm moved back being entirely reglassed along with the windsheild being pushed back to the side air vent. If you closely at any other 32, the end of the windsheild is a good 12 inches foward of that air vent. On mine, my winsheild is butt right to it. I will head into the MANCAVE and take a shot and post it soon. Thanks:daz:
