Performance Engine Build...

I guess the question still stands- hows it gonna run? and whats it going to do in your boat?

So you got a non pump gas friendly mill.

Once you commit to race gas you can't just drop onto any ole place and fill up so that pretty much defines the boats role.

If you are going to run race gas then you can run 13:1 and over.

Love race gas toys. Id like to have one as a third boat someday.

I put about 50 hours on the engine just running 93 octane pump gas and it never did ping/knock HOWEVER it was pretty darn hard to load the engine with a four speed and 4:30 gears and 9" slicks... In the "water dyno" it should be easy to see if it will ping and bust up the 40+ year old TRW figure 8 slugs...


The boat had a 600" NA chebby the day I bought it and was so stupidly over powered for my taste that I didnt think it necessary to go crazy with a new engine right off the bat...


I got sentimental and bought the wrong boat, this belonged to THREE close friends of mine, two were high school buddies and the first died of cancer... What I really need is a 21' Raysoncraft hull like the GN47/GN24 that I can run at LOTO and on our big lakes... This is one reason I haven't hit the water, we dont really have too many good gathering places for Vdrives/hot boats around here and the lake I grew up on wouldn't allow this boat on the water... I've lost motivation, I need something with MUCHO more freeboard...
