I am at the shop twice a week, I get into what they are doing. Ive seen, these motors being built and have seen them with 98 hours on them being pulled apart, checking for rebuild. Ive also driven at least 20 plus hours on a 36 Nortech cat with 1200/1400 motors last year, and the boat had 60 hours on the meter. It hurts when someone can do a better job, especially someone or( NOBODY) who's been in the business longer is getting the school knocked out of them when they are younger and can do a better job. I say we do a motor build off, smart ass, Ill fund it, seeing that Im TMP spokesmen and all Jeff

Nobody,
You must have not read my post that well. I said that we don't need the Pontiac heads to make the power. If we were looking for max. hp, then we would go to those heads. Why go through all of the trouble to make one off parts when they are not needed. The motors make the power that we advertise. Thats like putting a sc on a 502 to make 500 hp. It is just not needed. If something were to happen and parts need to be replaced, I don't want to have to wait for those parts to be made again. I am not ripping anyboby off. They get the hp that they pay for and the parts are readily available. The Pontiac heads are great, but they have their place. These motors are complicated enough, why make them worse. I have used Pontiac heads several times before in alky motors, where they were needed.
Big yellow cat,
That questions is impossible to answer. Who knows if there was any cavitation, if you put a little or a lot of tab in it, how hard you rolled into the throttles, the efficiency of the hull, etc. I would be willing to bet that if you let 5 different people drive the boat you would have 5 different speeds. By the way, what does that question have to do with this thread.

Re: Miami Show TMP1600
I am just going to ride and have fun since it is on the way back from Havasu for Leander.I dont have the hp to run in that crowd. But I think the Louisiana boys should just settle it on the water with a crowd present.
