We took the compression down to 10-1, did a cam change, and they are STILL making 775hp @6200 rpm! (...and climbing) Didn't run them up any higher on the dyno knowing I'd never use them up there.
Had I not spun the boat around backwards in KW, these things would have given me a real shot at the podium. We'll be at it again this year, so come cheer on the Scorpion-powered Konrad/Fountain of Youth, gunnin' for the 400 class fleet in OPA.

The Green Machine is looking great, Julie/Ed.

They are not just for racing. I have had very good experience with Scorpion also. Had them freshen up my motors for last season and was very pleased with the results. Much more personalized service than my former engine builder at very honest and reasonable prices. Great service after the sale too, unlike so many others I have dealt with in this industry.
