We might get one more good one before storage.

jeff a,i am the mike mildthunder is talking about,but you are incorrect about burning a piston first time out.the fact is it burnt 3 pistons on the lake after a 5 minute run at full throttle,had a fuel delivery problem,i since have added another fuelpump and all is good.my engines dyno at 1200+.

Damn near could Jim.
If you take that and add what he originally paid for the carbs, you probably could do efi.

Hope all is well Jim. Call me if you need anything. Talk soon.

The BB-2's are a 305cc head and only flow about 300cfm @.600.
If those are the heads he's using that'll be part of the reason the power tanked so early.

could be,but with the right cam,carb and intake there is no reason that head shouldent make 650 hp at or around 5800 rpm,and i sold those heads to him at a very fair price,id say it looks like the only thing he didnt overpay for.

Since then, new pumps, and he been running the SNOT out of them.

I may be out this weekend, my boats put away, but possibly on a friends 38 Cigarette.
