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)

I was thinking the same thing Smitty, good method to run wet exhaust and recover the water.

Next step is installing stock 500 efi intake then installing modded pieces one at a time. We have set the bar high though at 695 muffled hp so chances of the modded 500 intake coming remotely close to that are slim and none, nevertheless I have 30 hours and 2800$ in doing the 500 intakes between buying two of them, modding one, buying tb adapter, buying giant tb etc. Norm has to test a sb with stromberg 97s on it for stromberg in very near future, we are swamped with shop work so just finished gathering final pieces for new data aquisition on dyno, going to pull 540 off dyno, mod oil pan trap doors to see IF it can be made to work good enough to use in boat. Will post updates as they come, Smitty

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)

Thats got a pretty big upper pulley on it too, to make the big numbers i did w my m3sc i had to turn it 60,000 rpms, 3.70 pulley, not much contact area for belt wrap, always an issue!

Mine made 9 lbs boost at 6000 rpm..
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... :)
