i am very happy with this build,i was expecting around 930 hp at 6500 so the xtra 55 hp was a bonus.the torque numbers also put a smile on my face.it was a real pleasure working with bob madera and his knoledge helped this project do well.we all know how important the camshaft is in any engine and bob is the man when it comes to designing a cam for any engine.i highly recomend giving him a call if you are planning an engine build,he is now on my speed dial.:party-smiley-048:

Mike it is a great build with awesome results! with that said it is great that you recognize Bob M. But let me be the guy that will recognize your skills and attention to detail that without a doubt was as important if not more so to the success of this build. I have built enough engines in my life to be qualified (I think) to recognize/appreciate your skills.. Great Job Mike!

It was run on the dyno with shell 93 octane. Will be run on the lake with same fuel. Intake manifold air temps were plenty cool on the dyno. Once in boat both intake temps and air fuel ratio will be monitored while test running things

Really nice to hear the kind words about all involved! Congradulations to the owner of the new mill.

Wow! Nice job guys. Just curious what did you end up with as far as ignition timing?

Yes sir. Mike is a definite asset for our little group of friends down here. Not only does he assemble a great engine, he keeps an open mind and always willing to try new things. The machine shop we work with down here is also great. They have top notch equipment in house, and a great crew, down to the dyno operator who is simply a pleasure to work with.

These kind of builds make it fun for guys like me. I get to be surrounded by guys like Mike, Bob M, the guys down at the machine shop, and get to learn some great stuff. I mean sure its great to drop an engine off at a builder and let him handle everything, but we are just gear heads who like being hands on and involved with the build. Abones wish you didnt live so far cuz youd fit right in with our group, and be a great guy to have around ! We definitely have a few laughs in the process too.
