yea seriously, I'm sick of this "say it isn't so", you're not making any where near 800hp....a 572 with velocity stacks and a serious tunnel ram, high comp....maybe a 604 would do it too...a 540 isn't hitting 800...unless you have some outrageously stupid cam in it and spinning it to 7200 and if which case, you should look for a different engine builder because obviously the one you have is not too swift...if you're spinning above 5800 and have a cam that's making power north of that, CHANGE IT...keep your power band low...
I bet you see 640-650 somewhere in that ball park...
or wait, two engines together...400hp a piece, oh in that case i'd see that
lol cmon man, you're gettin some snow, should be good for business!
Bare in mind, your dyno number means jack $hit if you melt parts of start grenading stuff... we wanna keep you boating, don't want to see you with broken parts.

gellner builds real nice motors, his mild 540s are 600 to 650hp. his hp motors are 700 to 725hp with a hyd roller cam. then his race motors for boats go up to 800hp, but last if you change the oil and run them to 6400rpm. one team got 3 seasons out of there 800hp motor and 1 or 2 world championships, other team got there worlds championship two. but only 2seasons cause they ran over 7200rpms maybe 8000. after dean said NO not that high. so far I'm happy with my 572. see yah at the party. I hope.
