You and Bobby AKA Motor Head.  James will be faster too but he will not be competition for you.  Bobby is building a Ford and will be competition for you.

yea bobby should be pretty fast, he has my old motor and doing a couple upgrades to it, i dont know if mine is going to be all that fast, guess i'll find out here in a couple of weeks when i take it on a test/tune pass, hell i'd be happy with 70mph, of course 80 would be better, and of course 90 would be even better...lol...but i'm not going to get my hopes up.... jump.gif

It will be a good heads UP that for SURE.  90mph would be nice BUT a 100+ would be really NICE!! just saying  Maybe one day I can afford to build a motor to push the SOUTHWIND that fast.

I went 66 with a stock motor, stock heads, stock cam, Weiand Stealth, and a Demon 850 going through a wore out pump with 150 nitrous shot.

Now I'll have a well built 466 with forged piston, aluminum heads and a nasty cam that can take a hard nitrous hit squirting through a tight pump with an AA in it. I'm hoping to get close to 70 on motor, who knows on spray.

Regardless of top end, I still have a thousand pound hull so acceleration won't be as good as yours.

MUST BE  A FORD THING  :smile16:  j/k!

The knockin I think is a ford thing. :smile16: This gallons mine claim is universal to all boats with over a ten to one compression and a 1000 CFM of carbs. He went from 900 CFM to 1500, it will be a tight race between the tach and the fuel gauge. I figure when he starts payin the fuel bill :smile13: he will give my carbs back and mount a couple of carter two barrels on it and call it good.  think.gif
