Oh  think that is a minimum from what you should expect given what you've done to that engine! You've thought and rethought it a million times man!

Love how that thing goes from idle to flat-footed and doesn't seem to hesistate or cavitate in the slightest though! Takes it deep throat right from idle! Gotta love that!

Couldn't agree more, Brian, but hey, in the end ,I gotta live with the thing and use it with the kids too! I think some of those guys were MORE than capable of (And may have come close to) buck and a half speeds given room to do it and tuning time! That's why once I finally cleared Moo's throats and even running good, still didn't run it in front of everyone again after seeing those monsters! Never seen so many Blowers at a non-NHRA national event EVER!

There wasent a jet boat there that was anywhere near 150mph! The fastest jet there was the 999 boat and he is in the high 120's!

I wasn't talking just jets Marc! I was standing by the mens room on top of the hill and watched a Lenco air-shifted (Heard it shift) V-drive tunnel go by, clear the corner and keep on it into the lake quite a ways that was at LEAST 150!

I was just sayin'  ;)

Did you loan him your gps Ray  ;D

LMAO! Funny thing about my GPS..... Long story about making it to Elsi because of that thing!

Could be wrong on what I saw (I'm guesstimating, but this guy kept on it well AFTER he left the cove and well into the lake!), but those V-Drives were making some SERIOUS MPH around the bend out of the Cove!
