You need to listen to all I say as I am first a well known world class and respected custom home builder and I own a framing company as well. Along with that I also build show cars and have built around five pair of 1000 hp + boat motors and ever kind of power from toyota push rod Hemi engines to 1200+ hp big blocks. Out of all my power the latest I really like as they made 1110 h.p. on 6.8 psi and pump gas. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qh683UDRPew
Now that you are up to date on my story you can tell it right.
Since you have no idea who you are talking about......"bolted a couple motors together".

I really don't care what else you do. I don't care to tell any stories about you either, plus u seem to enjoy bragging about yourself anyway.
Maybe we can see how good those motors run in a couple weeks, you know what boat I'll be driving.

So your are framer then, just as I said.

And it seems like you do like telling stories or I wouldn't be posting. If you think 1200+ hp talk is bragging I don't feel so bad about my low numbers then.
Thanks for your silence about me in advance.

Funny it ran 128 the first year at the Shootout. 131 last year and I hope it runs a little faster with the new set up but it might be slower.
Yes we try to run in the Shootout since alot of guys who claim to have fast cat boats just show up and don't run.....and can't seem to pull up GPS speeds to prove the so called speeds.
It's not fast it's not pretty but we'll give it a go.
And to the point of this thread Chips boat is very mean and ran all kinds of passes for two days at real fast speeds.

bad azz 
what exactly is the technical reason engines like this have such a large swing in rpm through the lope? Is there some sort of pressure fluctuation going on with the blower? cam? velocity of the fuel charge at idle? just curious whats going on within the engine that causes it.
