The boat and trailer weighted 10,200 lbs without engines or drives. The four 100 gallon bladders have been replaced with one 200 gallon center line tank. During this process they lighted the boat by about 1,500 lbs. The hall is made of Kevlar with re-enforced area's made of carbon fiber. Engines get installed next week.

Is he going to dyno them?

The part of this package that is going to hold the HP back is the log manifolds. Back when Richard Lee was working with this package after he changed to a different exhaust manifolds (Started with the Drakes) he started making bigger HP.

The Gale Banks setup on a 454 made 850HP. Today with the better heads, better exhaust, whipple, vortec or procharger you can make the same HP with a lot less boost. The Turbo do have a different sound and the exhaust is a lot quiter.

This boat will be especially quiet since the exhaust comes out under water.

Sure they can make boost, and heat, but how about Flow?Even a boosted engine is nothing but an airpump so flow is all that counts.
