The No Wake Zone / Re: Car Tires vs Trailer Tires
« on: April 19, 2010, 03:49:54 PM »
In our situations i dont think its a problem since jet boats dont way very much but if you were hauling 10,000 lbs, yes theres a big difference. The sidewalls on a trailer tire are stronger to hold more weight than a car tire. But i dont think its a problem here. But i have been wrong before...

Ya i see what you are saying Ray, My carbs are tuned right and this last saturday was the first time in over a year that I've had a problem with them n all it was, was a stuck float. I took her out prob 7 times last year and no problems. Idk i guess i was juss wondering if I would have any significant difference to run a single setup. Idk i guess if a good deal comes my way Id part with it but until then it runs fine n im gona keep it that way, but always open for suggestions haha.

Okay so im not new to building motors but the fire breathing small blocks we put together in my garage to put into anything with wheels is alil different than the 468 thats in my boat. Im not going for all out speed, as much as id love to, my wallet and other projects come before the boat since it already runs n needs nothing virtually. My question is, i have an edelbrock tunnel ram with holley 600s on it and i think its just too much for my application. My motor isnt a krazy build, mild to most and my standards. So would i benifit from moving down to like a victor jr intake with say a demon 850?? Im open to suggestions, I just want a reliable setup that I use to its full ability. With my current setup the highest RPMs i see is 5700, Idk if i really wana push it too much further for reliabilities sake. Anyone else have same setup??

My 7.3 has 160,000 n lets just say im not the nicest to the truck n the only problem ive had was the tranny, but ive seen plenty o stock trannys go out after 100,000 behind a stock motor. I have a custom tuned chip, intake and exhaust and stage 1 injectors n i would never even think of owning a 6blow (no offense to 6.0 owners haha) My good buddy is just hitting 500,000 in his 7.3 as i write this and its been chipped since 200,000, just tranny problems. Just my .02 might not mean much but me n a couple buddies have been through it all with these 7.3s. The Dmax is a good truck minus the IFS junk front end, and the cummins is a great motor but the dodge truck just doesnt doit for me. I live in a small town n diesels are  more popular than any other form of transportation n theres eveything here and every truck has its problems.

Jet Pumps / Re: Need Advice
« on: April 08, 2010, 06:18:18 PM »
Idk what kind of mph im going but sure seems fast haha I wouldnt doubt it if the pump is just getting tired as it has seen alot of time on the water from the previous owner. It rides real smooth at first just leaving at normal throttle its alil bow high but after i get into the throttle it settles down to normal

Okay so my 73 wriedt maverick has a solid 454 in it with a berk jc pump, at wide open i see alil bit over 5500 rpm. can anyone tell from that, what impeller i might have?? can i get more?? Also i was told i cant put a place diverter or jet o vator on this pump due to being a single bowl or somthing, Im new to this jet boat realm so any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks
