so I'm not saying anything bad about the guy who owns the boat, im not saying anything about the engine builder, I'm not saying anything about the looks of the engine.... i'm not even saying that someone cant make an engine make 1500 hp on 93 octane (for a short amount of time).... but to say over 1500 on a soft pump gas tune is just stupid.



now to clarify... I'm not saying voodoo is stupid... he may have put that because of someone lying to him and telling him that, someone my be fudgeing there dyno to show what ever number you want to see. but in reality. in a big pleasure boat that is going to be used under normal conditions that engine that he explained on the first page, although cool looking with good parts, still cannot do that much hp....

I like people to try different things so I hope you make alot of hp with it.... you can probably be a realistic 1200-1300 hp with it which is alot more then 99.9 percent of the people in the offshore boating world really have. but dont waste your time and money trying to get 1500 true hp out of it or you will blow it up...

another question.... what is the fastest 42 tiger? i know I have ran next to one that was running 120 mph...
and we have a non stepped 42 tiger at our shop were building engines for. anyone have any idea what it should run with 900 hp??

So would it be a breakthrough to make 1500 hp on 93 no mater how much methanol i inject along withit? JUST A QUESTION????? how many members here build there own motors excluding marine dealers or repair services? I am willing to bet the guys being a lil negative could'nt put there own engines together to save there life, buts thats ok, i'm scared of things i dont know anything about too...haha, i know for a fact Shawn Davis & myself do, we both run promod, yep not boating, but having to build and go through 75,000 engines after every race and learning how to keep an engine happy and efficient is no different, just different application and tune up to follow, just my 2cents LOL maybe i will have to put these straigt into a cat and test against the big boys on OSO! racing for dinner sounds fun! thanks Doug

PSI's are only good for peak hp, they actually don't do very well with low to mid range torque and have down right awful distribution. Put 8 air fuels in there, even with the Indy intake, and you'll see well over 3 af's off. Thats not a problem if its consistent, but its boost, rpm, cam variable. You can help it with EFI port injection, but most have to do it with discharge plate wedges and adapters. Because if you do it with just fuel, you give up power, because your not only getting the wrong amount of fuel, but your not getting the proper amount of air either, thus low cylinder pressure, which sacrifices HP.

Were building a new race supercharger that is adaptable to marine that at 1600hp, 18psi, will take 150 less hp than a PSI all decked out, race version and 200 less than the gas/marine version. 100% new rotor profile, all new technology.

The PSI will work better if you have the carbs side by side and block off as much of the rotors from air leakage as possible. To get the PSI to work its best, most make a billet plate that similuates the rotor housing continuing forward and only leave about 1" of rotor exposed. Otherwise you get a lot of leaking as the 300deg of helix in the rotor has its compression sequence open to barometric pressure on top.

Methanol injection has to be properly placed on a screw compressor, it does not work like a roots, which just sweeps air from top to bottom. Screw's move the air axially through the housing, then compress as it gets discharged. Methanol will evaporate before the highest point of compression, thus negating the biggest temp drop. The closer you can get to the compression phase, the better cooling/results you'll get.
