LOL,...... 100 psi of boost might be a little insane
or really fun for a very short period......


Do you have a ballpark hp for each of the two settings?
What compression are ya running?



Thanks

compression is 8.5-1

well pretty much all the twin turbo big cuin engines we have done made close to double there naturally aspirated hp at one atmosphere of pressure.. So the pump gas will be 1/2 atmosphere should be around 1260 hp and the race fuel setting should be around 1680 hp and the shoutout setting will be two atmosphere.

Should be intersting to say the least in the Skater.
Now that you have a proven transmission, are you going to
get your Apache Cat up and running?

What RPM do you spin for 840 hp NA, and did you still blow though the Turbo Housings or just straight out the headers?

What electronics are you guys running to control fuel , timing? Electromotive,ACCEl??

Any detonation control on it??

we are using pectel mq12 computer. we are programming it ourselves.
it has all kinds of detonation control with 8 different knock inputs with variable gain control on each one.
but we will not have any knock sensors on the engine because we know how to tune it right so we wont need any..

Cool, always like that boat, sure as always your engines will be pretty nice in there.

Pretty good HP numbers to, ....with basically a cork in the exhaust I say cork cause your not using the compressor at that point.

When are you hoping to start water testing the skater?
How many cubic inch are ya running per engine?


Thanks
jon
