EWWWW, question time. What gear ratio? what props? and now the big one....HOW MUCH AND WHEN CAN I HAVE ONE ??????? The only thing that has been stopping me from building big power for my Daytona is the fear of destroying another black hawk.

Re: B-Max Blackhawk
 

Airpacker, the gear ratio is 1.33 and I run 31" pitch. 125 mph is about 6200 rpm. My motor will turn 7000 rpm. Cam is 282, 274 @ .050 with 116 lobe centers. 572 Arias Aluminum Chevy with 11.7 deck height, Jessel rocker system, and of course (2) large turbos

Re: B-Max Blackhawk
 

Nice Job Tom!!! I had heard you fired up the band saw!! I am glad you got it to work and I sure hope it solves the problem. And is that 125mph speed radar by the officals (the boys in blue)? Or dont they have a place to park at the launch and get a shot at you?? Just kidding. It has been a long road, but I think you may have won.. I on the other had am still working at it, with a long way to go..
Congrats!!

Re: B-Max Blackhawk
 

Baronmarine, Yes I helped Bill with his boat. We tried several new things on his boat, #6 drive, transmission in the set back, two different X dimensions, blueprinted bottom, and of course two large pulse tuned turbos. Bill always wants to be on the cutting edge and understands the patience required to accomplish this. This is a four year project that we just finished and he is already talking about next years mods. It's a tremendous boat right now, 114 GPS, idles at 450 RPM, and it's a 30' Checkmate.
Thanks, Tom
