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"
