Thanks, Alex told me a possible reason for engine sounding sick when I bring it back to idle is because the O2 sensor got wet which made the computer add a bunch of fuel down low. Other than that data logs looked good.Going to check compression tonight.

Commanded is actually 11.8 at 7#'s, and timing is 31 at IAT's below 110 degrees, and then it will start pulling timing gradually if air temp climbs.

Alex Haxby has been a great help even though my problems have nothing to do with the Holley system I purchased.

So if it has 380 hours, does it still have stock head gaskets? I always change them when putting a blower on because the stock gaskets just can't take the added cylinder pressure. I would put the starter on and get the water out then start it, as others have said.

Yes Stock HeadGaskets. According to the people I bought the boat from the motor has never been opened up. I cranked all the water out and oiled it up good yesterday.
