555 bbc wondering on upgrades intake, carb, headers
 
Hi i have 555bbc in a 25 outlaw it has afr 305 cnc heads, comp 240/248, 600/650 lift, the hp500 dart intake and a quick fuel 1000cfm 4150 setup with gil exhaust, i was wondering what you guys thought for more power if intake, headers, and carb are worth some gooh hp thanks

Carb should be fine.

Real headers (Eickerts ore one's with similar dimensions) with approx 18" long total tail length could/should be worth 30+hp on your set up. Maybe a tad more

MiscL
Make sure fuel psi stays at 5psi or more at WOT and top rpm
Raise your hatch just a few inches at OT and see if speed picks up..
Make sure your bottom is clean
Make sure your prop has no dings or etc
etc'
etc
etc
etc

Swap your HP 500 intake and Quickfuel 4150 setup for this. That should wake up the motor a bit.

Yes those intakes look good bit im up at 10to1 so blowers would be tough lol, ive had a lot of people saying the hp500 single plane sucks as well is there any info on that

With those cubes having exhaust manifolds isn’t doing you any favors. Is it worth the $ for headers? You might gain 1 or 2 mph. Have you dialed in your carb with a wideband? Mine ran “great” but picked up a few hundred rpm and turned it into an animal after sorting out the jetting.

What kind of power are you you looking for? Top end? Jumping up on plane? Everything is actrade off.

I have not pit it on a wideband its a 1000 quick fuel 4150, lots of debates on whether or nor to put a dominator on it, right now the boat runs 73ish depends on the day i thinking i have like 88p, i will look where did u end up for jetting

Jamsf1984 07-16-2018 05:24 PM

Was wanting to make close to 700hp, the boat seems to run pretty good its spinning about 5400rpm the prop says its a 25pitch mirage plus but have not had it looked at too see if thats what it is, id like to get close to 80mph thanks for all the help!!

Spin the blower slow and you're good. With a new prop you'll blow past 80mph.

You can add this stuff to your fuel tank if you're worried about detonation.
