Great looking and running Hustler!! On the speed decrease did you only change drives? Reason I ask mine came with Bmax's new and I wonder how much speed I gave up over Merc drives?

When I first built mine with the Whipples it Dynoed at 765hp in 2005 ran it one season, Had the Bmax 1.30 gears and 28p 4bld bravo one it best 99 at 6000rpm.
