Weiand 177 max rpm is 13500. I spun mine to about 12500rpms on my 525SC.
If you're spinning it 10k+, its best to change the lube every 20 hrs.

Really nice clean 377. Great find.

177s as you know are pretty small for a 540. But it will probably get you over the hump of performance. The 177s have a peak rpm of about 15k, but that is...

I think a pair of 1071’s with 5 pds of boost would help get that condo up and moving.

3psi on 540ci tells very little about how fast the 177's are actually spinning.
As far as whether they can make 730hp depends on what the engines make N/A. The 540's probably would make 600-650hp...

Well I do agree these boats are great in rough water, night and day from a 30 Scarab. I remember punching holes in some waves on snotty Lake Huron blowing a northeastern while sipping a beer.
