Turnin' up the Heat(s)
Here are two of my weekend projects...
The 496HO with 3.3L Whipple is a full up Larry Peto build (pan to blower) and dyno'd out a +750hp. Exactly what was anticipated.
The second is the beast...We'll be looking at getting right at the century mark with this set up

Hey Linnie,
We have been getting pounded pretty good about every three days but the nice thing is the next day it's 60 and the snow is gone.
I'm glad I got the bathroom remodeled before I started; That was the compromise
I've got the 565ci motor (the other project) just about put back together and I think the guy wants to go with the CMIs. That will take a couple weeks and we should be ready to fire it off. We are hoping to see 625hp out of this lazy Bulldog
Do you have your cams back in yet?

Got the cams Tuesday, Waiting on one head gasket. Took one head off to check the compression. Ended up that I was at 9.4 so I left it alone. Those adjustable regulators I got from Hardin look to be easy to install but difficult to adjust. Keep posting the results

Well the R-Tech setup is "almost" there
Great trip with some good Heat results at Desert Storm...
Knowing that the new Merc labbed 32 was not going to be sufficient we searched all over Lake Havasu City for a stock 32 Bravo with no luck at all. Nordic was even going to wholesale us one until they couldn't find one.
So off with a Mercury Racing labbed 32 from Bob at Full Throttle Marine he went. As Bob mentioned on the phone the prop felt doggy as most Merc labs do on this boat. (We had Bob try it on his Heat setup before shipping it out to us)
Jason the owner found this to be true as well. With seven people and full tanks 87.5 was the best he could pull and said it felt like it was nosing down. They tied the boat up at ran up to the Propeller Factory in Havasu City and the guy added some substantial cup and it was time to try again. Nordic Heats love cup!! Same load and 93+ on the recall but still right on the 5900 rev limiter. Note this is at a mild ~7 lbs of boost.
One more trip to town and the guy tweaked it more but said that was about all he could do. This guy would not take a dime from Jason for the tweaking so Jason swung him buy some cold goodies for the help.
Jason dumps the load and left him and one other in the boat and pulled 97.1 on recall "and" on the limiter again
I have no doubt in my mind that a stock 32 will achieve his goal easily
Downside is right after that run there was the infamous click, click, click.
This time it was off to Max Machine on Saturday morning at 7:30. Arron and Jason from Max turned Jasons boat around by lunch and it was only $800. Broke two teeth on the uppers. This was the Poker Run morning.
Upside to this story. Jason rode in our Flame for the morning stops and was able to collect his cards before getting his boat back to run the afternoon run. Well as fate would have it, Jason won third place and collected thirtyfive $100 bills Saturday night
Busy weekend but very, very fun
Anyone have a spare 32 (stock) laying around?

Awesome,
Congratulations Jason and great #s Dave . Are you guys still using the stock XR case? It would be interesting to see what an Imco would do.
Are you running standard X dimension (19 1/4#s on mine), or have you added a spacer?
Best Regards,
Steve
