What are you, a machinist?! Who talks like that?Yeah, he is 👍👍👍👍











Jake I will give you the simple reasons. For myself it comes down to two reasons bank account and prior family commitments. You will understand when you have kids. I take river trips now and this would not be much different from most of my trips. If all of the above mentioned items were not a problem I still would not put up that kind of money up to race against 4 or 5 boats and play the numbers game. And no disrespect to the guy's that do it just not my gig.Yeah, racing the series and what not is very expensive. Racing to a number is not for everybody, I get that.

NOS in not the monster it made out to be. You will need to have a motor set up to run NOS with anything over a 100 shot. I run two separate fuel systems one VP 110 for normal use and one with 116 for the NOS. I also have a separate holley blue just for the NOS solenoid. You will also need a retarder the set up depends on the shot size. Most the boats on the river hitting triple digits that I have run into are N/A motors with NOS just remember true triple digit boats are not as common as some might think. If you are not stuck on that hull I would look to make a change. Most guy's look for right hull and the motor is secondary in the 100mph process. Whatever choice you make wear a lifeline. I have attached a couple of pictures for you tx 19 gullwing and a 496N/A motor.true story right here!!! Nitrous is your friend, when you know what you are doing. 👍👍👍👍👍 pull 2 degrees for every 50 hp shot and a good fuel. Also flowing fuel pressure is a must for a big shot 👍👍👍👍

What block would you recommend I start with to build said 'brick crapper'? Would a 4 bolt mark IV do the trick?4 bolt is always a good start 👍👍👍

I agree, a bonneville is not the best choice for a go fast boat.... Unless it's a TR.
You are out of your mind if you think you will be doing triple digits in a Bonneville...![]()

IMHO you are staring a 85-90 MPH boat right in the face. Anything over that and you will be able to smell your angels perfume...
Don't hate, just trying to reel in your expectations a little.
BTW, not impossible, just need to keep really good notes and get familiar with these guys I know. Mr. Trial and Dr. Error...

I know of plenty of pump gas 496's on the river that make north of 700. And they are nowhere near the "ragged edge" on the tune up.
My buddy brad made 714hp with a tunnel ram, 088 Iron headed deal. isky hydraulic roller camshaft 680 lift 250 intake 258 exhaust duration 108 lobe center 10.5 to 1 👍 it can be done.

75 HP out of 35 cubes? Interesting.
The word that shut it down for me was "Inexpensive".
I can tell you this, 700 HP would be tuned to the gnats ass and on the ragged edge. You could not cheat on one single part. A 496 would have to turn near 5,800 RPM+ to make those numbers. Not sure reliability would be there. This does not sound like a quarter miler, but more of a river racer.

Any one know what the plan is for Irvine lake not having any water? Is the event going to move?The irvine company said No more side by side racing after last years deal. The may race is now at Bluewater.
