Default 26' or 27' Awesome cats

Give me some feed back on what motor,drive,gearing,prop you are running.Speeds would be nice,as well as over all performance.
I am running a n/a 500" BBC with alum heads,dart intake with a 850 cfm holley..Compression is 12/7 to 1 with JE piston,Carrillo rods and eagle crank.
Gearing is 1:36 on a Bravo 1 spinning a 22" at 4500 rpm's @ 71 mph..I have run smaller props with better speeds but all in all the 22" works for now.
I'm in the process of changing gears to 1:50 right now.
Oh by the way I have the training wheel on my boat(Center pod) lol..


Ok lets hear what you got?????????????

1.50 will make a difference that is what I run with a 3 inch spacer and a 25 pitch 4 blade trophy prop. what is the max lift on you cam I run a .566 .566 you have to get that motor in the 5000 +++ range to get it working right

The cam is .700 lift over all..Ran this motor in a small tunnel spinning 6000+ rpm's..
I'm hoping the gear change is going to make the difference..I also have a stand off box..
Whats the best way to measure the "X" dimension on a cat?
