No,

A local guy, had this boat specificially built for his twin turbo motor, because the Rage wasn't able to handle the power. He liked Johns color scheme, and had Nordic build him something similar.

Something like that, fuel injected, and ready for a boat. I think I will need to wait until someone like Dustin gets one marine ready.

Just needs marinizied, you can make 800hp with almost any LS based truck or car engine with $800 set of heads and decent cam/valve train. Here's a stock 5.3, with Comp cam, L92 heads as cast, 9psi = 792hp.

Actually, from the video, it looks like tremendous lag, hit the throttle and it went to 6-7psi and wrapped around to 13-14psi? Hard to see, but watch the sweep. I never film boost, as its always instant, but here's one on a Ford GT (car), doesn't matter if its auto/marine for boost curves on PD. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TPRnCwE-ZcE

Yep that is what I am thinking. I have not been able to use the boat much, and have had it for sale. I was wanting to do one of your LS1 kits in some kind of street car.
