How many THB guys have VDrives?

[SHAWN DAVIS]

yes, hope to have it almost done this weekend
have a 1350 pump gas tune, and close to 1500 with a little octane, should be a nice ride.
Just put a new wing on the boat also to give it a  more updated look

 

[SHAWN DAVIS]

heres some more, we been running the screws for a while on offshore stuff, a lot easier to make power. Ran them on alcohol on my pro mod car so I guess it's just carrying over....

Shawn did you build your carb adapter for the psi, been thinking serious about one for the Belvedere.

 

[SHAWN DAVIS]

bought it, it came with the blower combo.
PSI and RBS sell them either in line or cross ways configuration

 

[soldier of fortune]

does the wing do anything for ya? i am thinking about getting one for my runner bottom

 

[SHAWN DAVIS]

Its a good place to set a beer when backed up to the beach!
Havent run it with the set back wing yet. Had a problem of sucking the cav plate down at speed before, so it may help.
added some spring pressure to assist also.
they are mostly for looks I believe if you run less than 140

I love the way a wing looks on a Flat Bottom .. I almost added one until all my buddies told me , what you trying to do , slow your boat down ?? I have heard the same , unless you going faster than 130-140 , you do not need one .. And they can cause you a lot of handling problems ..

Shawn - do you have an up pedal to push on to keep the plate from sucking down ? More spring pressure should help .. My boat is not fast enough to suck the plate down , but I can fell it moving on me with my foot resting on the down pedal .. Maybe one day I will go fast enough to use the up pedal ..

 

[SHAWN DAVIS]

Yep, has an up pedal, but I have never felt comfortable getting off the down pedal while at speed. The spring should do it.
My Hondo was about the same, would suck down around 120.

Wish I woulda known you wanted a wing, ended up shipping mine to Arizona.
