Cat with 496 ho's over 120mph?
 

wondering if there are any at hull that will break 120mph with pair of 496 ho's? Is it possible, this would make getting insurane a little easier with suh mild power.

Re: Cat with 496 ho's over 120mph?
 

yeah at the bar after 12 drinks!!!!

Re: Cat with 496 ho's over 120mph?
 

I think that a 30 motion could do it with some really good setup. That also may require running downriver and with the tide. :D

Re: Cat with 496 ho's over 120mph?
 

I dont think your going to do it. A 30 Spectre with 496's is right around the 100mph mark so finding another 20% is gonna be tough.

Re: Cat with 496 ho's over 120mph?
 

I don't think so. I think that the 28 eliminator will go over 100mph.

Only if Fountain starts building cats!!!!!

Re: Cat with 496 ho's over 120mph?

Re: Cat with 496 ho's over 120mph?

Re: Cat with 496 ho's over 120mph?

Re: Cat with 496 ho's over 120mph?

Re: Cat with 496 ho's over 120mph?
 

yep with Bravos :eek:

Re: Cat with 496 ho's over 120mph?
 

why so slow then?

Re: Cat with 496 ho's over 120mph?
 

that was the speed with the little blowers.........i don't have a true number with the big blowers.......its not really dialed in. the lake is to low to get it off the lift :(

Re: Cat with 496 ho's over 120mph?
 

What about a Vicious 31?

Re: Cat with 496 ho's over 120mph?
 

really? greg ran like 115 in '96 and was the top gun and then dave the year after ran like 140 for the top gun, i don't remember somebody being that close to dave...

Re: Cat with 496 ho's over 120mph?
 

my 31 ao ran 93-94 gps with stock 496 mag HO's... and since i sold it resigns on LOTO.... the ao i'm driving now runs... 115 ish with 502's and 420's making just under 700hp with 1.5 gears and 36 props... not the best gearing but it's what it has...

Not in this lifetime. Even with 525 EFI's it's a stretch...

Re: Cat with 496 ho's over 120mph?
 

it will take between 600-700+ hp to push a 3100 AO that speed , depending on all the setup... lightweight or standard, boxes, drives, tunnel tab.......

Re: Cat with 496 ho's over 120mph?
 

525's and you get a whole bunch of cats that can break 120.... :D

Re: Cat with 496 ho's over 120mph?
 

maybe a 24 or 28 skater with the twins one off I would like a 24 with my motor a 509 650hp :D art

Re: Cat with 496 ho's over 120mph?
 

Not sure about a whole bunch, but know for sure this one will... :D

Re: Cat with 496 ho's over 120mph?
 

ever heard of supercat lite? :D

Re: Cat with 496 ho's over 120mph?
 

Finally found the magic hull.Doug wright canopy 32 with ho's 125mph, now that is incredible

Re: Cat with 496 ho's over 120mph?
 

Yes, they're light all right... :D

Ever heard of pleasure or non-race? :D

What did Zipp Express run with 500efi's? Wasn't it 112-114mph? 36 Spectre I believe.

Re: Cat with 496 ho's over 120mph?
 

but you can buy the same hulls and run near those speeds (in 36-38 foot cats :D )

Re: Cat with 496 ho's over 120mph?
 

Ok then, let's hear a few? :D

Easier said than done... :rolleyes:

Re: Cat with 496 ho's over 120mph?
 

36 skater, 39 mti, 30 skater, 32 skater, maybe a 42 mti.. :D

Re: Cat with 496 ho's over 120mph?
 

Wiggler just buy one and prove it. :D I'll put the power in it for you.

Re: Cat with 496 ho's over 120mph?
 

I can see maybe 30 & 32 Skater, the rest I'd have to see to believe... :D

If you're right on the others, that's something else... :rolleyes:

Re: Cat with 496 ho's over 120mph?
 

You'll need a couple pairs to break 120...
