Looks great!
Is that a short stagger?
What kind of HP are the 575's putting out? Speeds before and now?

Before
IMCO SC-1 Hering Bravo style 6bl 15.5" X 35P 102.5MPH 5350RPM
Now
IMCO SCX-4 Hering Cleaver style 5bl 17" X 37P 16*Rake 102MPH 5300RPM
Full of fuel

Short stagger 575SCi's
1.5:1 gears
innercoolers and 3.5" pully = 4# boost
roller cams
.030 pistons
dual point distributors
704HP and climbing when limiter kicked in at 5350ish RPM
no PCM or fuel system work

It felt waaaaay different. Good/bad, not sure just yet
Water pressure was low so I'm lengthening the notches in the hull next. From 3" to 15"

I wasn't after speed, RELIABILITY!!! Please Please Please
