The new bullet for my ZT 280 Checkmate is complete at Saris Racing/Team Performance Marine! These guys have been awesome to deal with, this engine exceeded my goals, and I can't wait to get her on the water in a few more weeks. Giddy up!

Saris Racing 509" 3.8L Whipple innercooled direct port injected, Holley EFI 957 HP @ 6000 rpms. 875 ft lbs @ 4600

those new 3.8's are the chit

You tease!
I'll be the first to say it.

It won't let me post pics for some reason. It gets to 90% loaded and stops on the first pic. Do I need a paid membership?

no, just 10 posts.

I had a different screen name years ago (1000 Islander or something like that). My Kellucca Performance one is not very old but after I sold my last Fountain I haven't been on here much.

I'll try to get to 10 posts so I can throw some pics up. The engine build is going to be featured in the September issue of Engine Builder magazine.

Waiting on headers from CMI, had to borrow a set to dyno.

Ordered a new IMCO SC but like everything else they’re waiting on parts.

Few little items to wrap up like installing the 280 Kplanes and plumbing the water pickup for the innercooler.
