oh hell... now we can make this fun... were going to up the hp in the one were doing.. lets race.... what do you think..... shootout next year??? we both pull up and pump at least 250 gallons of pump gas in to make sure if there is race fuel it gets diluted. then we go run... maybe we could get them to let us drag race like big thunder and cms.

I am really glad to see quite a few people interested in this thread, no harm done or taking this is fun, i would like to repeat myself by saying "shooting for 1500 on 93" didnt say for sure, i will have a race gas tune also, another fact, just because this engine looks like something you have or may have seen, i doubt its whats for sale among most of the "marine engine builders" just a few twist, maybe if it makes a lil power i could sell some build sheets for gas money?? no one had any objections or comments to me running on 93 with methanol injection, i guess some people may think race fuel would cause less detonation than methanol? 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

regardless of what they dyno at, I'm anxious to see the results. any other tigers straight or step with power over say 1100? what were the speeds and handling like?
actual side by side tigers, not the 42X or XP.

Don't know about the Tiger, didn't Old Schools 38 have 1100 per side with Quad rotor Whipple motors when he bought it? If I remember right Craig said that the previous owner had it at 110 mph.
