It's all the little cumulative tweaks he has made to the boat and the set up over the years which have added up to that top speed. I wanted to set the record straight because I have personally heard people say that he must have modified the powerheads to achieve that speed.

Stock what? Is he running 2.5's or 3.0 litres?

"Awesome run"

Yes, the gear cases are 2.5 gear cases.

Does anyone know where there is a complete list of speed runs you can look at. I would like to see what other boats ran in that class. Anyone see the Doug Wright run? 113 for a 32 is impressive.
