Mike-
We didn't try to achieve 1,000+HP. I don't want the maintenance that is required for the high horsepower valve train and high boost, plus wanted to use only pump gas; thus, we used hydraulic rollers and kept the boost at 8#.

Planes huh, I'll bet the insurance is less.

What's insurance I don't blame you for not wanting to go the ultra high horsepower route. I am with you on the maintenance and fuel issues.

so how is it going? have you been able to put the engine back in the boat yet?

Dueclaws

I coerced the shop into installing the engine this Friday. It's all coming together, but with some recent diversions it's been slow.

Zeke-
Did you find a boat that you're going to buy?

I might have found one, but I am thinking of sticking with a V instead of going with a cat. Something about cheaper insurance and all of that.

How is the Jag coming along? Any new updates on when it will be ready?

Dueclaws

Almost there. Need to plumb the intercoolers and install the headers, tailpipes, blowers. It's tough to get good help around here.

Dueclaws

I think that what Tommy's boat had is contagious. Brand new intercooler is leaking.....
I'm hoping for a quick response from the vendor.

Sorry to hear about the intercooler....that's a bummer....good luck with the vendor....I hope it didn't hurt anything else.
