800 teague / 500 merc?
There are two dcb mach 26 boats for sale in havasu right now...one has a 800 teague, and the other a 500 Merc...would you get the one with a 500 and put a whipple on it? Or would the 800 teague be just as reliable?

800 teague would be just as good as the 500 with a whipple on it. Teague builds great motors and is out of california so its nice and close to havasu..

A motor built from the ground up to be an 800hp motor by a good builder is miles ahead of a motor built to be a 500hp motor that has been stretched to 800hp.
If both boats are nice Teague all the way

Based on your question, Teague 800. The two that I have are great. Dustin had done a post on OSO saying that everyone he has ever dynoed they came out at over 850 HP
