That looks like it might be a Berkeley Super Jet R intake, look under that hose between the loader pad and the mounting pad for the suction housing, should say super jet if it is. Also would have an R on the top of the loader pad between the rear loader bolts.

 If it is a Super Jet R intake, let me know when / if you give up on this project. I need that intake !!

 OK, the wing is...... well its a wing.

 What about the fact thats theres 11 gauges in that boat ??  Dash is full + a tack on top of the dash, plus, looks like 4 more mounted on the front of the motor. Who would have time to check all those gauges.  :sly:

pair of Predator carbs

 I have a pair of Predator carbs up for grabs.  I have never run them, actually this is the first set I have ever seen in person.  Will need to be rebuilt.  Dont need them, I'm going injected.

 Shipping will be actual shipping cost.

 HD, its going to be an E85 only motor, no switching back to pump gas.  Ive seen guys say there running 9:1 and 22+lbs boost on the stuff, As well as a turbo deal thats 8.5:1 with over 30lbs so It should be fine with the cylinder pressures.  I dont think the blower in question will make those kind of crazy boost numbers. Thats the reason for the high comp/lower boost idea. 

 GT, I was thinking the same thing, small chamber and flat tops (or close to it).  And if it was a Ford that would be no problem, lots of small chamber heads for those (down into the mid 70cc range).  But I cant find any good aftermarkets like that for a Chevy.  Theres got to be a way around the big dome piston deal.  Those things are lumpy, bumpy and heavy.

 Sorry, but late model Vortecs aint gunna cut it GT.  This someone has been lookin at the AFRs and such.  Need lots of exhaust flow.

 Intake is an 871 / injected, exhaust is zoomies, and fuel is not gas.  :-X

 This someone has been going round and round with the idea of low comp/high boost vs high comp/low boost.  This someone likes the idea of high comp/low boost.

 OK engine gurus, I have a question. 

 Lets say someone  ::) wanted to put together a high compression BBC.  Lets say this someone wanted around 12:1 compression (or a bit more).  Is there a point where the piston domes become a real issue with flame travel ?  Most of the heads this someone is seeing are up around 119/120cc, so a fairly large dome would be needed.  The engine in question will be .030 over 454 with 4.25 stroke (thats the plan so far).

Fight fire with fire. Get your own whistle and blow it during practice and games. The kids won't know what to do and he will be forced to change his method.

 I like this idea too !!

 Another idea, if things get really bad,  look around over there and see if you can find a control valve for the sprinklers.  >:D

Thats horrible.. Im thinking the same thing! Wanna go halfers? I gotta stock 454 and the 468 in the shop.. Who said mismatch motors wouldnt work?  ;D  You gotta cover the drives and fuel for that monster though! I bet it would be fun!  :-\

 I say drop some of those plastic mock up motors in that thing, so it looks cool. Then hide the OB from your party barge on the back (cover it up with a big swim step).  Just get out to the cove before everyone else and go home last (so nobody hears it run).



Ray................Is that you?   how did you hack SuperDuty's shiznet? :screwy:

Yah, My brother bought 11 acres with a house up here and I moved in while he was working down south. He lives like 400 yards from a elementry school with a CalFire station next to it.. You think whistles and kids screaming is bad? Ever heard the loud ass noice the fire dispatch radio makes? Sounds like someones using dial up internet but LOUD followed by the lady screaming about the fire. This is once every 10 minutes or so. Be happy with the whistle! Cant really help out much with the parking.. Living this far from people nobody ever parks in the driveway. We do have some pretty cool tweakers running around at night though.  :thumbup:

 Your night creepin tweakers are famous and known by there own special name, hillbilly tweakers. Easily identified by there sleeveless flannel shirts, tattoos done with magic markers, and lack of teeth.   Best solution that I've heard of is Bear traps. But be warned, if you dont get to them soon enough (to put them out of there misery), they will gnaw there leg off and escape.  And with only one leg, there twice as hard to catch next time.  ;D

 I'm sure I'll catch some shit for this but..  You bought a house across a street from a park, dont complain about park noises.  Thats like the people that buy houses on lakes and then complain about the noise from boats.  And I do know what your talking about, there is a school yard close to my house and I can hear everything that goes on over there during soccer season (early Sunday am).  Its just part of the price you pay for being close to a recreation area.

 As far as the parking, like Skippy said, call the PoPo if they block your driveway.

« on: July 06, 2010, 10:00:19 PM »
  ::) ::)  Headers will NOT "mess up your motor".

 Now, improperly done water lines to the headers can cause issues. Sounds like you where talking to someone that has had problems getting things set up right.  Or they have a set of logs they really want to get rid of.

 Little Leo was running back and forth in the yard chasing the noises/lights and growling.  He wore himself out and is crashed out on his pillow now.   ;D


 Oops, one more just went off and he took off out the back door, growling.  ::)

Jet Pumps / Re: Slapping at high speeds above 75MPH
« on: July 02, 2010, 09:19:23 PM »
 TJ, be careful bro, one bad bounce at those speeds can send you swimming.  You are wearing a vest, right.

 Is it a porpoise (bow rising and falling) or more of a hop (whole boat up and down)

 Have you tried to change the diverter setting.  Believe it or not, my blue boat liked more up nozzle at WOT, a low setting would make it hop right out of the water, not really a porpoise.

 Cool read on the 385 Series stuff Ralph, thanks.

 GT, that FE stuff is crazy.  If it has this number its a ***, but it might be a ***, and could be anything.  And thats IF you can find any damn numbers on it.  :screwy:

Whats the OD on the Vents? if they will work I will take them.

I'll go out to measure what I need.....

 The fuel tank vents. 
 There 5/8" hose, 3/4" hole in hull, 1' outside diameter.  They vent through a small slit on the side on the head.

 
If o2Vegas passes on the valve covers I'll take them.

 Which valve covers ?  BBC or SBC ?
