Feel free to speak with Ron Potter at Nortech who drove the boat when it was first complete at 162mph hitting the rev limiters. It needed more prop and we changed props to herings and added a pitch. We all saw the tattle tale when Terry brought it to loto. So believe what you want, also Call Terry and ask him what the boat officially ran on gps and tattle tale. Nortech's number is 239 567-5030. I dont understand why everyone on here is so defensive. also saw the gps on cyclone at 174 . I assume you dont buy that either. Were you at the shootout last year? . gatorone , which 05 36 do you own? what power?

Gator,
Thanks alot, Can't wait to hear how the boat does with the new engines. I'll be at NorTech next Mon. to finalize details on the canopy boat. Should be running by summer.

I guess it comes down to credibility, which is earned, not stated. If you claim you have one of the highest HP, longest running engines on the market, you should expect to take a bunch of heat, THEN have the proof to back up your claims.
It might seem unfair to have to answer every question posted, but once again, when you make such a 'raised bar' claim, you have to expect it.
1) I know it is hard to 'trust' dyno numbers, but sometimes it's all we have. Did you make 1600 HP in any configuration at GT?. How about this 1800 number? Might be hard to invite skeptics if your shop is in Louisiana and you dyno in CA.
2) You 'dare' anyone to find negative post regarding your engines. Cyclone (engines) never failed? I ask this because I can't find any other of your BIG HP engines (1000+) in any other boat.
3) You could shut up a ton of this crap if you would state here and now, how many blown efi engines you have built and SOLD.
4) Found the old post with 174 MPH claim. 6300rpm - 1.24 gear - 35" props. The math does not work.
All this will be moot if boats with your power start crushing at Poker Runs and other events. Word travels fast when you get beat.
Any plans for events on the Chesapeake Bay?
