In calm water, 6,000 HP will make a difference. In rough water, it's probably just going to lead to lots of busted driveline parts. This may be a great example of how having the most horsepower doesn't lead to having the fastest (or winningest) boat. Then again, if they only push the boat as hard as they have to in order to win a race, it might work.

My Way is running T55s and did set the loto record at 224 or 225 so i don,t think they will be faster unless they can get it to accellerate faster of the start. the orginal geico turbine was callens with T55s those turbines are now in MY Way

My Way doesn't have to run hard in rough water in a race. Get my drift?
