The headers I dyno whit where cmi s but there high and didn t like the collector so switched to a set lightning .

It make s 560 hp @6100 rpm and max tq is 550 ft lbs @4700
and tq is real flat from 3000 -6300 rpm above 500 ft/lbs

know have 20 hrs of use and like it every time if I go out ,this engine push real good and screams for more !

That was the first test drive whit a regular bravo 1 X drive whit the prop shaft 5.5 inch below the bottom and there was quite some waves from all sides .

Now have a -3" imco sc drive on it and handles like a dream !

Also on one video it go s complete on one side (rub rail hits the water ) due to going of the throttle before trim it back first .

The cam specs I don t no have to ask the builder .

Why the switch from the black hawk?

My hull doesn t provide natural bow lift so it was a gamble if it worked ,however it run 95 mph whit the blackhawk but we had 24% slip .

Another downside is that it goes very fast on idle and also my engine idles at 900 rpm and the blackhawk don t like to get both props moving at that rpm it gives a very loud bang !
So I decided to try a imco which also gives a lot beter prop selection ,I would loved to try a set 31 props on the BH but there very rare and espacialy here in europe .

going out today whit a 1" spacer on the imco to look if I can get the hull a little more out of the water and gain some speed .

I figured that. Looks like your inner lifting strakes go all the way back. Great set up either way
