Wow, that's a heat getter! :eek:

Ahh when I looked at that post the first time the pic hadnt come up yet.LOL


Ill have to forward that response to the misses.

Only after Scots post did I see it. You weret supposed to mention the CT swapping rituals on the RIVER.LOL:eek:

not worried about the bottom end. its the heads and valvetrain that make me nervous........

I would not be all that concerned as long as you have the heads sealed well with Cometic or MLS head gaskets and good head studs (APR), I wouldn't worry about the heads themselves. If the valve train was fine NA, it should hold up fine with FI. If you were seeing valve float, then I would address the valve springs. It's cheap and easy to swap valve springs for insurance... I know I would. High RPM's are typically harder on the bottom end and valve train than boost ussually is. As Jeff said though, your tune is VERY important with FI applications...

ill go with the girls onboard theme...some...ill add more later

heads and valve train wont be an issue, Scots right about valve springs though Turbo valve springs tend to see allot more abuse than N/A I usually change them every other season on a drag car so Id change them every season on a boat I think( depening on usage).
Cheap insurance

cant wait to take you for a ride in the turbo bird!

I always changed them every other season on N/A engines too though cause Its cheaper to change valve springs than eat a valve and pay for a complete engine with pistons rods etc.

I have to agree that we (the CT folks) tend to be the most active in the northeast section... I also think we have the best boating in the NE as well. We have the semi protected waters of LI Sound and all the neat things inside it (like the Thimble Islands), the CT River, a short trip over to LI, Fisher's Island, Block Island, Martha's Vineyard, Nantucket, Newport, etc all within a reasonable distance. A lot of diversity and attractions so there's something for everyone and plenty to do while still keeping things from getting boring. Honestly I think we have some of the best boating in New England, if not most of the US. I just wish the water was a little warmer and clearer at times! :drink:

Who wants my Motion!! Just lowered the price to 80K!! Need to sell so we can buy the new ride!!
