Are your aluminum or just cut with dampner removed?
I have seen the dyno run with the Hydra tec tuner on the 250xs and it did work pretty good. They have not tested it with the 300xs. DBR says they did not see any gains with the tuner nor did Adam who did a ton of testing on a single engine talon over on scream and fly. Also if you look at the HP curve the motors really fall off over 6150 rpm. Do you know who sells the taylor tuners?
Thanks
Not sure who made the tuners......I know they were re worked. ...Yes, I had some idle issues. ....till I changed my fouled plugs....LoL. Again not sure what was done to the flywheel, as far as lightening them....Shaun had these done and the exhaust tuners, by one of the guys that builds his F1engs.Looked at a picture of top end....I was generous with RPM #s more like 6280.....

It's a 21 with twins

Edit: per a thread on S&F, it was propped for 120mph that day but has seen 126+mph.

It is a converted race boat that was a one off build. It is a wide body, cut down deck and the tunnel has been reworked.
I saw the boat at TNT. Also did have some six blade round ear Herrings on it as well. I have a set of 15 1/2" + 29" round ear/thru-hub Herrings 22 degree rake that I run for my everyday ocean set up. Boat runs a solid 105mph and accellerates like a rocket. It blows right through hop.
