And by the way, I am going to be selling her in a month or so. I just had the motors redone by Keith Eickert, drives rebuilt, new lowers with nosecones, labbed 30's and 28's, and the boat is getting clearcoated again in a month just because it makes it look like brand new!!

My vote is for the Vortec HP3 525. Based on the new 8.1 496 block. Also has closed cooling.

I have a 2003 Top Gun w/525's ITS and saw 87mph out of the box. The engines do everything right. They run, sound and perform perfect. No fouled plugs after 60 hrs.
It runs 85 on warmer days.

90 x 90 = 180 (2) % @ 90+ 287 & 64% = 85 MPH
My calculations say it'll run 85 mph in the heat of Summer if I'm driving. If your at the wheel 81 mph. That should be real close. GET THE 525'S YOU ^%$^%$&^$! BH
