Carbs always win all else equal. Probably due to lower intake charge temps.

I think if your limited to a maximum idle speed, you could probably run more cam in the EFI setup and make more power.

i went aluminum 6.2’s for weight savings. 240 lbs in a 5000 lb boat is drastic. I am under 600 hp and don’t want to upgrade my drives. Mine are going into a P-29. I run in the rivers anyways.

Sniper efi is 800cfm. Pro systems venom 1050 annular is 980 wet flow cfm. Since I am running a dual plane and essentially cutting the carb in half I see the carb taking the cake by a long shot up top and the annulars still giving decent manners off idle compared to a down leg. I know the holley sniper is the same software as I use on my gto except I use the dominator efi. Very good tunability and self learning. Also the snipers ability to run without an o2 is a big plus. But the question is how much am I leaving on the table. I will also be running a single plane on my dyno run to see comparison

240lbs in anything is drastic, especially when chasing every mph. I couldny justify the added cost and have already had the big hp blown big blocks in it and went way faster than I am comfortable at. I figure 110-115 is good enough for me. The extra weight, which is 93lbs per block, would give me another maybe 2 mph. Now being your doing a v hull the century mark is harder to come by and every mph counts. The p29 is a damn good boat. Keep us updated.

its 120 per block. I just weighed them. I have a set of 6.0’s I was going to build.

I just ordered a set if those oil pans. Thanks for info.

I also bought extension boxes, raised the drive height, and some more weight savings throughout the boat.

Decision on fuel system is made. Pro Systems Venom VX 1050 annular. Now for the color. Haha.

You will like tge pans. For the money zero complaints. I did get mixed opinions from them on whether or not to use the factory windage tray as well as the pan windage tray. I will be running just the pan initially. I honestly dont even think with having to soace the windage for stroker that it will clear the pan windage. Hopefully you got a goid deal. I have an account through them and could have gotten you a break.

I agree with carbs having the capability of running well. I guess what I like about efi is the much more controlled idle and ability to idle it down a bit more. The quick fuel 1050 4500 annular is the best Ive ever ran. On my daytona (489 blower motors) lowest I could idle down to was 900 which was like 13mph. Way too fast approaching dock or trailer. So constant in and out if gear. I know alot has to do with pitch and ratio. But if I can slow down just a tad Id be happy. I actually have quick fuel 750s sitting on my shelf but would be too small for my application being a dual plane. I generally run off the 130% rule on dual plane. That is 130 of cfm requirement. Works very well. Regarding prior post you will be fine. Capacity is king. I figure I have about 14 quarts as well when everything is considered.
