will your boat plane in 5.9 seconds? Build your own motors?
He has had a little help with this combo, we have been running big screw blown bbc's in our boats over 6 years, can make over 1400 hp and have been over 170 many many times. And NEVER hurt a single piston,headgasket,valvetrain componet.

Why, isnt this a discussion board?
It wont make 1500 on 93 octane, Doug knows that. People here shouldnt insult others abilities, especially if they know nothing about the person.

1500hp on 93?...... Good luck. 116gas would be easy. Seriously, after your first dyno pull, you will have trashed that motor. How hard are you spinning the blower. 1400hp with 23* heads and 50% over crank speed is a good number to shoot for. But try it on 110 gas. 1200hp on pump gas is reasonable for that setup. It's not worth trashing that nice looking motor

dont get me wrong. I like the engines, they look good, I like the polished PSI blowers, I like that your using the big whipple intercoolers. If I was going to use a blower instead of a turbo they are the ones I would do. with a quad whipple next... actually we want to do a quad psi if anyone wants some big power from a blower engine...
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??

If it was, we would all have a pair.
Good luck with the project, and keep us updated on the progress.
