Running 5200 rpm at Lake Mead and 5000rpm at Utah Lake. Both days were about 60 degrees, but as it gets warmer I will lose more rpms due to the heat. Why were talking where did you get you fuel pump mounts that are on the lower front of your motors. Did you buy them or make them? Starting the homework process for getting ready to install my whipples. Need all the help and advice I can get. Thanks for all your help so far you even helped me get the right anchor just by reading your inputs.

We might have to put Rob on the payroll. We appreciate your help Rob. When do you want to come out to the factory and take a ride on the rockit Rob? Let me know and I will get everything set up for you. You should come out and hang out with Joe for a day at least.

Rob still wondering about those brackets you used for the fuel pumps on the front of your motors. Are they custom or can I buy those somewhere.

They are the stock 500efi fuel pump/fuel cooler bracket, I just trimmed it up made it smaller cleaner looking,You can actually step on it.The front of my oil pan has 2 bosses that it bolts to.It isn't below the oil pan when transporting it on a cradle.


You have 525's???

But @ Utah Lake 4500 elevation, half tank of gas, two adults it gps @ 84 mph. Lake Mead 1400 elevation half tank of gas, three adults, two kids gps @ 86 mph. Still running same props 32" bravo 4 blades that came on the boat from Ohio. Going to Lake Havasu in 3 weeks so will see how it runs @ 450 elevation close to sea level.

I would think that boat will run 90?

I would lab the props to get 5400 you will need it in the heat..
