Check your float levels as well. A trip to Eddie Young would have them singing a sweet tune in no time.

That's exactly where I was headed here...

Blower motors aren't for the novice- or the intermediate. Mistakes happen swiftly and expensively. Let a pro get them right and then learn how to keep them there on a DIY basis.

Chattviper.....I was anchored behind you in my 38....white with a yellow and purple strip at the chattanooga races last year. Eddie Young built my 598CI 750hp mills and I could not be happier. He has done all my buddies supercharged motors with awesome results and he is getting ready to whipple mine. I would highly recommend him......and he is only 2 hours away. Give him a call.....you will be glad you did.
(615) 216-7449. Your boat sounded good and had a nice looking crew aboard!

Chattviper,
You have gotten some good advice. I would first do a leak down test to be sure the motors are mechanically sound before you spend anymore time chasing problems that may not exist. I would be happy to talk to you and help any way I could, or take a look at it. It may require me to make several trips with your crew to iron out the problems. But I'm willing to go out as many times as it takes
Give me a shout if you get a chance and I will help you in any way that I can. 615-216-7449
Thanks, Eddie.

Thanks everyone else for the referral and the kind words.
Eddie

Eddie just built my motor. It makes 872+ hp and will be out on the water in Chattanooga in a couple of days

Eddie - it looks like you may need to come down to Chattanooga to finish tuning my boat!
