I can't believe anyone actually ever believed he had stock 1350's at the shootout when he ran that number :lolhit:

I'll tell you what I have, how it's set up and what it will actually run any time you ask.

What's the point? There is no trophy, record book, or prize money.

"Hello, I'm blah blah. I've had my 1350s turned up. There are very few in the country. I hope it will run 180. We've had it to 170+. We are going to push it to the limit today." To me, that's a lot cooler than lying about it

Its a lot nicer to say stock 1350s than to tell people its none of their business is my guess. Plus it would be good for sales. BAM, it was easy to figure out. Look at the other 48 MTIs with 1350s. While they haul a$$, the tests showed they needed a longer distance to get to top speed than a mile and were propped for top speed than for acceleration. I've watched the video of Gino's MB MTI hitting 190+mph a ton and you can tell it took well over a mile to get there. I'm not trying to insult anyones boat but it didn't make sense to me immediately when I heard his 1350s were stock compared to the other 48' 1350 MTIs.



Gary, your boat is definitely a rocket. I've really enjoyed watching your videos of the DS poker run and always "rooted" for ya. I hope you change your mind about selling it or build something even more wicked.
