So I picked up my first jet boat, a 1986 Daytona Sprint, and to power it I have a Chevy 489 Stroker with forged rotating assembly, 11.5:1 Compression topped with a set of Merlin Heads. The cam that was in the motor had grooves worn in it with mechanical roller lifters, the rockers took a hit as well (looks like one has been off a few times). The motor was in a car, and will now be in a boat, I have had a few suggestions from some rookie locals, but would like some more input from someone who has experience. Another question is, what limits your RPM, or what is supposed to anyway, the cam or the pump?
