Check this out!. Super 280 by eddie young.
 
Hes got one hell of a project goin with this one.


"I'm building a 555 ci with an M3 Procharger for a 280 Powerquest right now. I had done a little smaller but very similar setup on another one in the past. That one ran in the low 90's. After putting tabs on the boat it wasn't that bad to drive. With the one I'm doing now we are looking for 100+ mph. Along with the engine it's getting full hyd. steering, trim tabs, etc. Should be fun."

Do you suppose it will have a fighter plane-style ejection seat?

To make it handle as well as it can. That hull was not designed for speeds even close to 100. Chine walk could get outta hand in a hurry.

Your going to like the procharger , mine already had I'd before this I just blew it last summer and went all out . I never thought about anything with the hull.

AJ POWERPLAY 04-04-2012 10:27 AM

Blueprinting will get you more speed and better handling (especially at higher speed)... There was a guy in IN on the board here that used to do it for PQ I believe, then of course there are performance shops that will do it
