Post by: radical faith on January 15, 2014, 08:22:06 PM: Thanks for the warm welcome, From what I was told this boat has been garage kept its hole life and it looks like it. the motor is a 454 with square port corvette heads, 550 lift cam, old school torker intake with a 750 holley. Took it out last week end and it ran 68mph (GPS) at 5000rpm. here's a few more pics

And nice rig!
Let's get a look at the pump.
Seems you might be leaving a little on the table at 68mph at 5k rpm....
