hes not a a internet person and not on any forums i posted a picture of hull, and with that aim sure you can figure its the worlds fastest drag boat. and thats who i ask for advice..i did depend on the forum for advice when i first had a issue with fuel , and boy that was a mistake i got a comment from i need a stock fuel pump , a holley blue just before the carb to up the float pressure , drill 1/4" holes in the butterflies ..everthing rather than the carb guru sounds like your air bleeds are plugged .. so thats why i don't ask questions here!

and he's the world champ because he doesn't share every single detail about his set up..

Nobody is bitching about your boat. Get over that. Any shit talk ISN'T about your boat, ITS ABOUT YOU!! Some factual statements were made, and they seem to offend you. Sorry if the truth butt hurts you.
Nobody suggested you change the engine, facts were made about using a tall deck Mopar with a deep pan, Facts were stated that there is a difference between jet boat headers and v drive headers, and it has NOTHING to do with the direction they face!!! And yes, those are jet boat headers. I can tell you the part number.
I am sure you have the best in the business DOING YOUR WORK FOR YOU. Good. Because from what I am reading, you need somebody.

As for the trains, vegas, asphalt parking lot, it was in a open discussion forum, and YOU felt it necessary to trash some threads to gain attention to your boat, thread in the v drive forum. Pretty pathetic really.

News flash for you OG, you said RDP was ALL BOATS ALL THE TIME. I take you never looked in the Lounge. Because that is no sandbox, that's a shit hole for assholes. There isn't a ounce of boat content in 50 pages of Lounge discussion. Same with PB in the Open Water forum. If bothers you, stay the fuck out of the sandbox. Nobody is forcing you to read anything anywhere on any site.

IF YOU have anything to say about boats and boating, lets hear it. So far, its all bitching about others, and very very very little about your boat, and what YOU are doing to it.

I along with a lot of others hear know how to read. This is a TECH section of the site, Not just a show and tell without the tell, This isn't Photobucket, or Flickr. How you like me to start an engine built thread that was all pictures and no info. You think that would be informative?

Like I said, its a "look at me" thread and it didn't go the way you wanted, BECAUSE OF THE WAY YOU STARTED IT!!!! Think about it.
