Mark rinda told me to bury a septic tank w sump pump and dump water into it but i poured ALOT of new concrete before getting dyno and not going to tear it out. So far i spent 8000 putting a new well in (needed one anyways) , 2000+ on 8 02 sensor system, then bought regulated power supply to batterys, mercruiser cannon plug harness, 3000 on data aquisition, regulated power supply to run it, computer, flat screen, sensors etc. Next purchase will be ducted air supply to push heat down and away from exhaust then if it starts making money will build a addition and cell on side of building, wet exhaust recovery tank and if brake ever goes bad buy bigger brake (everything elses just about is new)

My buddy Joes 522, crappy edelbrock heads, with M4. That thing whined so loud just at idle your ears would hurt.

Had to be like a guitar string, or it would slip. He had nothijg but issues with that setup. He got fed up, and went to 1071 roots. The boat ran much better all around with the roots setup. (42 Fountain stagger)

I run a 7.5" lower and a 5.25" upper pulley. 4.44 step up.(not self contained) 38,057 RPM impeller speed.. My MAX impeller speed is 48,000 so still have some room to grow ;) Smitty, If I recall, you were just a bit past you max impeller speed.. :) Haven't run it in the boat yet, but didn't notice any belt slip running on the dyno for two days... :) |
