Thong baby

How you been?

Velocity Vector 06-27-2008 09:58 AM

Engines arrived at Derebery Performance, they look killer, should dyno next week and will have a video of the dyno runs for you guys to see. I talked to someone else that did pretty much the same thing with Super Cat engines that we did but had a little less compression ratio. 9:1 where we have 9.8:1. He dynoed 680 HP with manifolds. Maybe we will see 700 HP with stellings, at least that's the number we shot for.

Went by Derebery's today to deliver some parts and took these pic of Leons 5000 HP twin turbo engines. Going in "Beyond Reason"
See my big hand next to the turbo, they are huge!

I needed that Hyper, What I like is Leon treats me just like one of the guys. He is up front, told me right off , "We charge more than anyone else but when you leave it's done. Watching the guy's that work there, they wouldn't want to work anywhere else. But who doesn't like to be covered up in Horse Power.

Leon sayed he has driven some fast Velocity's and insisted in dialing it in for me. Must be something we all don't know about, that twilight "V" zone. He did mention you just thought she was a drivers boat before, she'll be a drivers boat when we get her done."

Here is a short video of Leon and 160MPH

Andy 07-10-2008 09:27 AM

I know what you mean about planning. Its all the little things you take for granted like head gaskets. My build has been stalled almost two weeks due to non stock on Felpro steel shimmed head gaskets that I need for my blower engines. My interior guy still hasn't finished my back seat. I am glad I kept the Formula untill the Velocity is done.

I let the girl that trims toenails at the dock see a pictire of your boat. She thinks your hot and wants to swap spit. I gave her your # cause your boat is gonna be faster than mine. What are friends for? Here is her picture, be gentle with her she packs a gun(357) and gets what she wants, good luck, your good buddy, Andy...

You are a friend aren't you,:ernaehrung004: By the time that list of parts gets in the boat it probably won't even float much less beat your's. I might have to get a center trim tab to even get'er on plane. I'll trade you these three gals for your toe nail clipper.

Just called, nothing yet, they have 5 parks and wildlife airboats getting new props put on to go south to Dolly huricane "top priority". I did buy a SS bimini with side curtains one of those camper looking tops. Came off a 38 fountain should make a nice add-on, looks like it may be fall before the boat gets done at this rate. I may need it.:drink:

I'm going to sweeten the thread a little. Tell a friend, Winner gets a $100.00! :ernaehrung004: :food-smiley-007:

Look at the parts listed below: ??? POST>>How much is it going to cost for just the labor turn Key??? Taken out the old and putting in the new :eek: I want you guy's to take an edcuated guess on how much the labor will end up costing on the project, all I can say is it is $95.00 per hr. :grinser010:

To make it fair I'm staying out. When I get the final bill I will post the winner. Good Luck hope you win!
One guess and make it a good'en :rolleyes:


3 Rules:
1. If you go over the total your guess doesn't count!
2. If for some reason there is a tie the earler post will win.
3. Once your $$$ guess is posted you can not edit it.
