I'm running dry tail Stellings so you guy's may be able to here her where you live. Here we are test stabbing one of the engines, We still have a lot of bilge work cleaning and painting.
I think why we do this sh!t is so we can fly without wings. Not a whole lot of bling just business.

Is any dyno accurate on a given day? The dyno is however "repeatable". "Repeatability" is what you want in a dyno, test the same engine time after time and get the same results. Take one of say 10 engines all built the same, change headers or a cam on one of those engines so you get 5% more power, run it against all the others again. It runs 5% faster, you re-dyno it and it still says 5% better, now you have an "accurate" and more importantly, a "repeatable" dyno. Then take the 10 moters to Reher & Morrison for dyno's The numbers are not going to match the other guy's dyno numbers but one of the moters should be 5% better on their dyno as well. This isn't the first time a Mercury Supercat engine has been toned down from it's original 750HP and raceing fuel but from what I have seen with the same parts all dynoed about the same results as these.

Complete sweetness. Thanks for posting the dyno run picts and vids. Did I see 640 on that dyno? whoaaa!!! 1280 in a 32ft boat respect for sure.
Whose heads are you running?
Your rig ought to rock pretty hard when you get it all together.
I always wanted a twin engine ride, but didn't want to pay, maintain, insure, and fuel one. Thats what friends are for!
I went with a single Ilmor 710.
