New 30' Spectre owner, I want MORE!
Ive got a 1998 30' Spectre with twin HP500's, the boat has a full custom interior and a pretty wild looking wrap for a paint scheme. The motors have 80ish hours on them, and I've personally had the boat to 97mph with full tanks of fuel on LOTO. It's got Hydromotive 4 blade 29's on it. I was hoping for a little more than this. Drives are B1's with shower's Latham hydro steering etc.
I'm thinking of Whipple 3.3's or possibly Prochargers, I like the whipples because blow through carbs are a tuning nightmare. What will I need to do to the drives? Just IMCO lowers? or Full IMCO? I don't want to break alot of stuff, I love the reliabilitly it has. Other option is heads/cams added compression etc, and stay N/A. What do you guys think? |
Don't want to break stuff? Leave it as is!
|
Leave it alone.....Ride and enjoy!!!!!!
|
Put some shorty imco drives either -2 or -3(need to modify uppers for -3) should pickup 5-7 mph if thats not enough some afr heads and some more cam
|
what lowers do u have. Sounds like you need some more prop with less drag. I think your barrier is a Hydrodynamic thing and not Horse Power. My 32 did 104 with a set of 500 efis and after changeing the lowers and props the boats runing 115ish. That boat has plenty of horsepower. They do over 100 with outboards so i know there is more left

shorties=porpoise??
|
Funny you say that. Had a friend with a 30 Mistique Cigarette that porpoised all the time with standard length drives. We added -2 shorties and 5 blades and now no more porpoise
