585hp is a good number for a 496 with that combo.Im thinking more like 685.With a bigger prop this should increase my cruising speed.It was 3000rpm for 50mph if Im remembering correctly.

Dave, did you sell your 24 ? If not is there an e-mail address or phone # I can contact you at ?

Pat I spoke to a friend today who knows engines very well and he told me with over 600 lift in a roller I will have to change the lifters about every 50 hrs to be on the safe side.The spring pressure puts a hurtin on them.So now Im looking at a flat tappet .I dont mind checking valve lash,When I bought the boat in 2002 it had 45 hrs and after 2 seasons it now has 86 hrs.

I have heard the same ZZ.
I am staying with the max lift that GM uses in there ZZ502, 0.541inch. That way I can stay with stock GM lifters...
My cam spec. 0.541/0.541 lift, 229°/229°@0.050, 114LSA.
This cam is made specifically to replace the cam in 454 and 502mag / HO engines.
I am told 40-50HP over stock, and the engine will make power to about 5200rpm. The stock cam dies at about 4600...
ZZ is your engine a Gen 6 roller motor?
If so, I would stay with a roller.
Comp cams, Crower, and Lunati make a number of Gen 6 cams now that have a good amount of duration with lift under 0.600". Lunati quoted me a custom grind cam for about $300. Crower and Comp will also grind anything you want, but for about $400.

Why dont you guys call Terry @ Cam Motion in Bator Rouge,La.
They can even re-grinnd yours for $150.00.

Dave,,,If you have not sold your boat, please let me know.

Hey steamfitter,

I still have the boat. I'm not 100% sure I want to sell it at this point. My email address is [email protected] if you want to chat about it.

Dave M.

Hey ZUPERBOAT, WOW your boat is absolutely awesome. My membership just became valid and I can now see all the pics....THATS what I want my boat to look like!!! The seats, the gauges, everything!! Nice job. My boat has all red vinyl I mean really RED! Some day I would like to change it over to white but all the vinyl is still in good shape. -JOE/30SUPER

Instead of starting a new thread on the same subject, I'm looking for a 30 to race this season, thanks

Eddie

Sent you an Email Eddie, Thanks

Hey Eddie;
If you sell your boat what are you thinking about getting? Another Superboat?

Build a new 30 over the winter w/stagared twins. Somthing to Run 90 to 105

Thats sweet! Keep us posted as to what you decide!!

Eddie, sent you my phone #s give me a call or send me your #s,
Thanks Eddie and DPT

STAGGERED DID SOME ONE SAY STAGGERED YES IT WAS THE ZUPERBOAT. THE QUESTION REMAINS CAN JC MAKE IT HAPPEN WITH OUT MOVING THE BACK SEAT FOR A RACE BOAT NO PROBLEM :eureka: :eureka: :eureka:

Hey Eddie-
You got any pictures of your boat you can post???

here's one from DPT

and another

and today.

Really good looking boat! I like the clean all-white look. If your boat is still for sale in September I will get a hold of you, but I got a feeling your boat will sell quick.

Eddie,
What do you have for power and drive in your Y2K?

I think it is the hp500/xr. But he knows for sure!

I think he has run both the HP500MPI and the Vortech HP3 525.
He's got the Merc.500 for sale.
The boat is really nice. 55K with a 500MPI + other goodies is not bad either...

Damn good pirce actually! If i were in the market right now, he would get a phone call!

How does the 30 ride compared to other boats in the 28-30 size range? How does it handle?

Hey Tripps,Patrick,& Superbash, How is it going?? I have been super busy @ work and have not been able to keep up w/ any of the threads and now there are to many threads to keep up with I don't know which one to respond to? So I am just replying to say hello. I have not sold my 24 yet, but I am still getting a lot of activity on it. I cant believe that no one has bought it yet?? The motor alone is worth what I am asking!
Hey Superbash, I still want to buy your cle drive, is it still available?? It is getting close to that time!!! Have you guys decided when and where Superfest will be?

Greetings 30SUPER! (& DaveM, Trippps, Pat, Z., etc.)
Yes, as in my last E mail, it's still yours. I think OH-ZONE makes L.I. runs (by car). Maybe he'd run it to you sometime if you guys live close,one day. Just a suggestion, but my HYDRO sold on S & F in 2 days(w/photo).:eureka:

I doo go Sag Harbor occasionally if I can help no problem. I too have been away from the net and just pm'd Superbash my cell # feel free to call
