^^^^^ FV a couple of years ago you were selling a motor that was built by them or was it someone else ? I inquired about it but I was a day too late. So I am asking who built it and if I recall in your ad at that timeframe you had Sunsation on the Valve covers. Can you tell me if the motor was from Scorpion or someone else. Thank you..

Still wished I bought that engine back then as it would have been a good fit for I project that I am working on for a customer.

BUP - that was a great engine indeed. I had it built by Champion Performance. Get in touch with me at [email protected]. I have another in process with them now.

All of us work together on one level or another. We all worked together at Sterling in the late 90s and kept in touch since

Champion Performance just finished up a build for me late July of this year. Motor runs real strong. I am very pleased !!

^^^^ have to ask did they (Champion) recal your ECM for that build or who did ? It surely would have to be on the dyno to achieve the proper tuning and ECM recals. Just asking

FV thank you for the info, I will email you today. I knew it was a trusted name in the industry but mixed it up with Scorpion as being Champion.

Champion did not recal the ECM. I am running a Holley HP ECM. Alex Haxby set me up with a base tune and I took it from there with some help from Alex. I tuned in the boat with the help of closed loop.
