|

Rooster tail!!!
|
|
So much for the theory of "manifolds don't sound as good as headers....."
|
Looks good! What happened to the 10-71 plan?
|
Thanks guys!! I couldn't do the carb route and prochargers are pretty darn efficient. I had great luck with my last combo that was procharged so I went that route again.

Money really. I get a good deal on the efi and know the Holley system really well so it's easy for me to tune and far as the blowers just a preference. I think they are pretty even with the whipples as far as performance. They dont make the low end like the whipples but my big sled planes just fine with them so I'm not concerned with power at 2-2500 rpm. Motors are 540 ci also.
|
Sounds & looks great, did you get any speed #'s yet or just breaking her in ?
|
No final numbers yet. But I do know that 32 pitch 5 blades are not enough.

Lol. I left that like that so you wouldn't want a ride at the shootout next year. I don't want you to put your balls on my boat. I've heard about you!
|
What's the boat seeing for speeds?
|
It's been over 100, don't want to talk specifics yet until I get all the little things worked out. From my data logs I think I'm 2" under pitch.

That will probably transpire right after you get done smelling the drivers seat.

Lol!!!

Update. Boat has ran a best of 107 with the gps on my phone climbing 3-4 mph at a time. Blew a sea strainer lid apart and had to shut it down. Slip was at 9% with some better props. Pulling one motor back out to fix some warped trans plates. Not bad for a dumb car guy building a boat. . Motors must be making some Jam!!Should be back together in a few weeks.
|
Awesome!! Keep us posted!!
