Lefty was grabin Longnecks at the Rainbow Room last time I heard:eek: :D

Heads need more space to flow and cam needs more lift.

Not messing with it. There is plenty of power there for me right now. Just want to get it together for TF.

By the way. You probably won't need to change the jets on that carb. I actually put smaller jets in my carb this morning and my HP wnet up

I am running a 74 and 86 at 32 degrees. If the heads won't flow it, or the displacement is not big enough, there is no need for bigger jets. THat is what I learned today at school.

So iguess the smooth operator and the whatever the fu(k andy's boat is called will have more power.

Andy has a boat with more than 550HP ???? I have yet to see this ghost boat and/or ghost engines....starting to think maybe he just tells girls he has a fast boat without a beak to impress them.....:eek: :drink: :cool:

That's funny, just the other day you were lending me your expertise in carb jetting. Telling me I needed more jet.....I think I've finally learned just not to argue.

Jeff, I don't know why your disappointed w/ 600 ft. lbs. of torque. That seems pretty strong to me.

Learn something new every day. :eek:

Learned that the big jets don't do any good unless you open up the air passage to allow adequate air flow to pull fuel through the jet.

I hope you are right its a pain in the azz to change the jets in this carb because of my coil bracket. Dean Gellner semms to think i will have to jet down also but im no carb expert so i guess maybe i will have to run it down to conroe on wed and have someone school me.

No matter how big you go on heads, exhaust etc. you will always have a bottleneck somewhere. The only thing you can do is get them as close to meshing as you can.

he wanted to make a run at Smooth Operator:cool: not this round.....thats ok I am puttin out 650HP per mill:cool:

I was told yesterday that Holley over jets the carb slightly to make sure that there is no chance of leaning out the motor and causing damage. I am not sure about this as a fact. We did drill out my air flow orifices to allow more flow on the high end.


I don't know what you are running, ut when we started working on the carbs with the dyno we only gained about 15 hp and 20lbs of torque on a large displacement motor. I don't know if you would be able to tell the difference if you were tuning the engines in the boat? Also I don't know for sure that you would get as much gain on a smaller displacement like a 502 or 454.

THat is just my thought with extra knowledge from yesterday. I am sure i will learn more today as we had a ignition problem with the port motor last night when we first tried to fire it.

I am changing plugs first. I think that is what it is.

Crossing fingers for the rest of the day.

I wanted the red bandana :evilb:

Is their any truth to Lefty changin his boat name from Crap Shoot too Ashtray?

:D :p :D

I guess all of that practice parking up front and lifting the hatch paid off. :eek:

sucks though. I wouldn't want burns in my ****.

You know if a cigarette fell on the smooth operator it would ignite all of the deeply encrusted oil residue and explode. :evilb:

If a Cigarette fell into Scary Mary it would be doing everyone in the Lake Conroe Area a favor:evilb: :evilb:

A few names that come to mind

Pete @ Quality

Justin @ 105 Storage

Blackwood

April Sound Seceruity

SPK1 on loanin out his trailer

dumb b!tch in the VW passat

myself


the list goes on and on

We could rename Crap Shoot ......"Slow Burn":p

:eek: :eek: :eek:

or "Smokin Vinyl"

Maybe Smokin Pole would be more adequate.

George got his feeling hurt the other night @ Papa's when Mom told him what she thought about Fountains.:eek:

:evilb: :evilb: :evilb:

Add my name to the list. If the ***** would burn, I could get my check and get a real boat.

don't kick yourself in the balls it sounds like you will have a very reliable set up

Wish I had the extra cahs right now. I could turn those new engine up a little and put them in this.

Did mom make a comment about the beak too ?? :evilb:

it appears to be set up for #6's

All I saw was everyone at the table laughing and George sitting in the corner crying.

here we go again bringin up Ruth.....thats alright I will let it slide from her own boys:p

she likes my big beak:evilb:

That's the good part. Cigarette forum says that it makes those boats ride and handle like a dream.

Guy emailed me back and said it was for #6's.

I would actaully need a lot of extra cash, but I like to dream.

did she use Crap Shoot for an Ashtray???:eek:

I think her and David were getting something going. uhoh Wade :evilb:

it would take a 100K to repower....you can buy Rob's 00 Tiger for 125K ready to go...

Like I said. Pipe dream right now. Lots of unforseen expenses come with a repower as you know. disposable income has been disposed of for the next couple of wee:eek: ks.

100K is nothing for a big balla like Jeff.

Wasn't last year. This year is starting off a little slow. :drool:

I am off to the dyno shop. should be finished today, Get them back to the house this afternoon.

Unless you hear a boom??

TWICE A YEAR!

:eek: :eek:

Ok, Ok, wade,, just remember when the drinks are being passed out at pappas this weekend,, I passed on this comment. :evilb: :evilb: :evilb:
