Thought I should just post on the Pantera thread. Should be done within 4-5 weeks. Really working hard on it. Curious as to what the top speed should be? Any tips or advice would be great. Engine is completely rebuilt. With 4 barrel carb.

Myself along with Some others that have seen 24/7's in the past with small blocks know about how fast it will run . But how fast do you think it will run ?

Really not sure. lol

Well how Bout telling us what you would like to run. The last member that I told what his boat Was going to run with the power he had selected for it got all bent out of shape and then after he got it all dialed in I only missed it by 1mph . So ! What do you think ?

Well its my brothetrs boat. Im just kind of the spectator. I PERSONALLY would like to hit at least 60. lol

put a 174 blower on it and wake it up.

So...given your thoughts.... my boat is 22' basically the 24/7 with 2 feet whacked off. power is a stock merc 454 330 thru a bravo...how fast??? how fast with a 350/260?

ibuildme I'd bet your safe with a 60 mph guess and 88bulllet's idea with a 174 is a 100% sweet . Probably take you close to 70 and if you really want some top speed find a blackhawk to put on the back of it .

phragle your not gonna sucker me in there old school ! lol ! your 22 I'm guessing came with a twelve foot pad and you've been around a while so you've probably blue printed the bottom and running a surface drive . SO with a stock 454 your probably seeing 75-80 . Now your gonna make me do some homework .

I was thinking like 48-50, you guys really think 60's on a 350? maybe with a 144 Weiand.. Let me know how it turns out...

We will see! Ill keep this thread as a favorite and update you once we get it in the water!
