Okay, to keep you as honest as we all think you are, we need a screen shot, phone camera picture or video showing your top speed. If you're gonna talk the talk, we need you to show us you're walking the walk. Lol.....!!!!

You must have an inside track as to the top speed of the tow truck.  That sounds like a trailer GPS number to me.  :smile29:

Right now the best bet would be mid to upper 70s, Gonna try to get him to start out with 34* total on the dizzy. The fuel pump is in question with me, I think its a 110GPH carter mechanical. It fed two 450s on his old motor, but he is running two 750s on a full roller motor this time. And a little more cu.in. I'm betten the test run will be cut short for lack of fuel pressure on the upper end. Next thing in question is the ride plate, it may need some tweeking to get the boat riding where it should be. And then the impeller May need to do some work in that area as well. I think he could be in the low 80s maybe a little more when all is right. IMHO I don't see this boat hitting 90.  think.gif
