Up The Inches ? There Goes Another 8 To 10k

Re: Superbabi !! Heres your pics of your Y2K
 

700HP would be a nice upgrade for your 600HP supercharged 502. Just like Merc did with their new package.
If you are thinking more like 800HP, then I would agree with Zup, a new 540cube long block is in order.
Over 700HP is also going to be an issue for your Bravo XR drive. There are Bravo replacements hooked to 800+ out there though.
It's all a matter of how much $$ you are willing to spend... :drink:

Pat all the details are not 100% clear at this time, there was talk to raise the cubes to 509, and than boost. I was thinking Merc will sell the new NXT-1 without the 700. I got a chance to see the new drive in person this weekend on a 38' donzi, the drive looks just like a #6 !!!!!! Ahhhhhh the never ending quest for speed !!!!!

A 509 is not a stroke only a bore. Not much difference in HP between a 509 and 540 if both prepped the same way . if your going to bore lower the comp. to like 7.5 to 1 and turn the boost up to like 10 pounds. if your going to stroke go as big as you can . All the same price. I think you can go 572 and thats a standard bore if your keeping your block. Probably at least 75hp more for a 572 from a 509. Keep the boat the way it is and use the money for fuel and drinks. Their is always going to be somebody faster.

Mike you are a WISE MAN, and correct !!!!! :D

Re: Superbabi !! Heres your pics of your Y2K
 

A bulletproof package would be 598na 750-800hp with a Konrad outdrive,trade your package in,upgrading your engine will probably lead to headaches,if you keep your bravo set up send it out to max machine for upgrading ,I sold a 36 spectre cat with mdg540/650 he then installed whipples and had his outdrives upgraded by max machine and they held up well.Running high hp with any bravo setup will require once a year tear down and inspection and rebuilding as neccessary.The trade off of going to the bigger,stronger drive is added weight ,more hp to turn, ang less efficient lower unit.

Re: Superbabi !! Heres your pics of your Y2K
 

Gary, with only 200hrs, just turn up the boost! Remember I had over 350 hrs on my 454mag ProCharged at 7.5 pounds and still running strong when sold.
Remember if you upgrade the drive from a XR style, you just waisted the HP gain you paid for building the motor. Unless you go big!!! :D
