this may help or not, get with 2sav he has a wj with an energizer kit for sale

Eldebrock RPM air gap, or Weiand stealth would be a good step forward, keep the 750.

Hey Ralph....I would love to have the energizer kit..but right now I dont have the $$$. But actually Thank's to Tom,Rhonda and Josh over at Jet Boat Performance and my WJ overhaul last summer,the squirt is workin' excellent for now...the energizer kit will have to come later...Thanx tho... Tracy

I have a WJ pump that will make you turd yourself and you will be begging me to lift. Nothing wrong with the Jacuzzi's
I also have a Brand New Edelbrock Air Gap Oval Port for sale $200
I paid $250 a couple weeks ago and went a different direction

Hey Blue....why'd ya go a different direction..I don't know much about the performance end of this stuff so I was just wonderin' why ya might think that manifold would be good for me but yet not for you.? Also,I like the Jacuzzi it's just that I've had Berkley's before and they were great and a lot cheaper to get part's (impeller's) for.... 8) Also,do ya think that mani would work well the carb I said I had?

Tom over at JetBoatPerformance has my bronze impellor for a Jacuzzi if your 454 has any HP... at least it will hold together for you ;D
Work out a good deal with him... should also be a stainless shaft with it too ;D Tom can give you any other info if you need.

I started with a 468 build and ended up with 500" and a stroker kit. I have so much torque with the stroker that I was advised to go single plane to help my top end better. I was actually bummed because I love the Air Gap Intake. It is a torque monster that pulls to 6500.I also have a 950cfm carb so I kinda "outgrew" the Air Gap. Also the Jacuzzi Imp. is a 5 vein imp. and the stock alum. will hold more power than a stock Berk. Jack McClure at MPD is your Jacuzzi expert. He did the boat I bought. Here is my pump that Jack did.
