How have you been?
I remember you from when I bought my Firefox in 1987, and went down to Cigarette to pick it up. Where did that 24 years go? LOL!

How many HP can the 700's be turned up to and do we have a guess how many hp the Dragon will actually be running after the upgrades?

I don't know but Powerboat tested a 28Eliminator that ran 153. In the same issue the new 36MTI ran 128. Same motors and there was only 200lbs difference in the weights. I wrote a letter asking how this could possible and PB said it was done in the ECU so I would guess 100hp+ each motor. Maybe a pulley change too...

The Firefox is a great Cigarette product, but to quote Bob Gowens on the day I picked it up........"Very Pricey"
Anyway, my experience with CRT was positive. Special thanks to Bob Gowens, Val Jenkins & you......and the cat "old hamburger face" LOL!
Best wishes to you on your new venture.
