Sounds like my problem. Just got a call from the shop and one of the trim cylinders for the Arneson conversion is missing. It will be a miracle if I get to make Tickfaw or Contraband Days. I already booked my hotel. I may be cancelling it. What HP do you have? I bet that 29 footer moves fast with supercharged 502's.

Yeah, I am crossing my fingers for 15 May. I am pretty sure with the current pulley I should be running about 575hp per engine. I sent the superchargers (B&M 250s out to Supercharger USA for a total rebuild as well as getting the engines rebuilt from top to bottom. I also added a set of Stainless Marine dry pipes as well. I was running low compression #s on the cylinders when we took them out (120-125 psi). I was running 85-86 mph GPS before with a full tank of gas (155 gal) and the boat fully loaded with 6 people. I am hoping to get some more power with everything being rebuilt and I am looking to be above 90 mph. I can also always go to a smaller top pulley as well; right now I was only running 3-4 psi of boost. I can still go down 2 more pulley sizes if I wanted. I just cannot wait to get the boat back and have it running good so I can get out on the water. Just a few unfortunate events took place that set me behind this year. It is all water under the bridge though and the boat is being worked on again.
