I think that they built quite a few in the early 90's that had 502 mags. they ran mid-high 60's. I have a buddy that has a 94 with 500efi's. His boat runs 72 on gps.

Re: 496/HO in Top Gun
we have twin 1050's and we see 105-107 but to get to a hundred a pair of 875 hp or 900 will do cause i know most non-steps guns that have twin 850 see 94-95 mph all day
