Hopefully we'll be out there with both boats. Looks like the temps are going to be in the 70's by the end of the week. Should be a good time. Ron

Skip the timing was lock out,I set it at 32 degrees ran good but it is to much initial timing had problems starting,so i put the weight kit and the bushing & spring set back into the MSD dizzy problem fixed until the starter failed.

So you unlocked the dizzy? If you're gonna buy a new starter try one of these

I'm not sure my "Assanometer" could tell, those TT headers are supposed to be pretty efficient.

The TT has two more bends in them So i was hoping The OT headers would give me a couple more hundred RPMS.

A would have to doubt the hell out of a couple hundred RPM, 50 maybe, it takes a pretty substantial jump in HP to gain that much engine speed, now if you were going from TT logs to OT headers, different conversation, just my .02 cents...Let us know $:-\$
