Power is comparable to other manufacturers exotic powerplants. We can boost up or down depending on needs and fuel.
I'll get some photos when they're finish plumbed and ready for install. At this time we're making sure temps and water flow are good. also trying some different cams, tuning , boost levels etc.
These were done last fall but for Key West we decided to stick with the proven Stotler blower engines. These had very little dyno time and we were only weeks from the big show.
Why take chances? Do it right, test for every scenario and hopefully these new units will be as reliable as the previous propulsion.
We're very excited by the results and hope this will offer our colleagues an option that is straight forward, user friendly and can be serviced cost effectively by any knowledgeable tech.

Alex And Ani sponsored me and although they aren't renewing the contract for 2015 I'll be forever grateful for their generosity and support.
Carolyn Rafaelian is the company founder.
Yes the Platinum is mine, I'm from RI. We spoke years ago about your turbine cat.

Yes i still owe you a boat Ride!
i will pm you when the weather brakes up here.
I saw your boat in KW couple years ago
was one of my favorites. Off the Charts!!!
I would love to get you to bring her to our Borden lite poker run or maybe our Fairhaven run.
There great Charity runs and a Blast.
Carolyn used to be a client of my wife's old Salon Dellaria in Garden city.
Alex and Ani are her children's names if i recall.
I look forward to seeing your progress with the new Turbo charged engines.
Hang on and be safe!
Gerry

It's all custom one off.
Bobby Cazzani designed the basic system. He and our friend Ray Leathers fabbed the units and Herb Stotler consulted, assisted, cleaned it up, figured it out and is presently working with it on his dyno.
Herb is meticulous about things. He made some improvements and so far so good.
A quote from Herb "If it don't catch fire or blow up it should run pretty good" Well said buddy.
