Sunsation Aggressor Engine build finished! Pics.
548CI. dyno torque 674.3 at 4700RPM. HP 651.6 at 5800RPM. We could have milked some more power, but we decided to keep it at a safe 33' timing and we didnt lean it out very much. Major thanks to Bob at marine Kinetics. He helped me build this over the phone. Sold me all the parts and helped me decide what to buy. He was right on the money with what he told me to expect as far as power. I could have never got it done on my own.

Sick,
The engine looks great. Let us know how fast you are running.
I just repowered my 24' Race Sunsation, 606 Lock'd Up Bandit.
I think this is the crash Griff is talking about:

Sick,
I'm guessing/speculating: when the boat became airborn, the throttles were pulled back so much that when the prop hit the water it caused ALOT of drag, forcing the bow down, bow steering hard to the left (port). I think (my opinion) if they stayed a bit into the throttle, they wouldn't have bow steered. From racing experience, the natural reaction when getting too much air is to pull back-sometimes to the extreme.
I'd like to hear what others think??
By the way-the boat was still racing OPA a couple of years ago-I heard it was being rerigged for racing.
