We never got rid of the 100 mph hop, but we had no other props to test. The 2" and 1" spacers are not the way to go; they just kill speed.
The boat ran like a freight train all weekend:
NO PROBLEMS AT ALL - FAULTLESS!!!
Heartfelt thanks go to the folks who really made this happen:

Heartfelt thanks go to the folks who really made this happen:
- R'Addiction, for his unwavering friendship, great help and (most importantly) moral support and motivation. There's no way this would have happened without you, John.
- Ilmor High Performance, for an awesome package and amazing customer support. When I called them at 8:00 PM on Sunday night, they answered. They also called me back at 7:00 AM on Monday morning to give me the rest of the answers to my questions. Never, ever doubt this company's motivation.
- GlassDave Sikorski, for stepping up to the bat on a tricky project. (And even working the weekend...)
- Old School, for loaning me some expensive props, no questions asked.
- Bobby Moore, for the incredible amount of knowledge and advice he is willing to share.
- Brownie, for being like Bobby, but even funnier.
- The online supporters who kept me going.
- MobilMercMan, for a quiet word in my ear that saved me a LOT of trouble.
- JRapp, for pitching in every time he came by and for being a huge help at (and documenting) the first test.

Thanks for documenting the project.
Seems to have turned out great and it was a great read all the way from the beginning.
The dyno run is sweet as well.
You have come a long way from your early feelings about Ilmor products. ( as have I)
These packages are excellent and I wish you many safe years of enjoyment with it!
