FYI
My boat was faster and ran better with the 1.36 ratio drives and 28" props. I don't care what all the experts say, I should have never switched to 1.50 drives !!!
I will switch back someday when I have some extra coin to blow !!

Believe me when I say that this was a shocker for me also, as I just woke up one day and said that I was going to add Whipples. Then I decided to change heads and now it has turned into a full engine project. It all started when a buddy up in Ohio did this with his Sunsation and then Bobby Todd started pushing me very hard and I said why not you only live once.
My main concern now is outdrives and making them live. I spoke to a lot of folks down at the Miami boat show regarding drives and there are a lot of advancements coming later this year that sound promising. I have two sets of fully rebuilt XR's right now that are ready to go and I plan to be easy on the throttles.
My engine builder put it like this. "You will have an abundance of power"!
Sounds good to me.

That may be an option I have to consider because I feel that we will fall into a bad area with props.

On XR's you change the ratio with the lower
gear set, which isn't as expensive as having
to replace the upper gear set.......they're ( the gearset) cheaper than a new set of props.

I did not mean to leave it out but here is all I can tell you at this time.
"Custom Grind"
Mark Boos likes to use a custom grind cam for each application and I have turned it over to him to do what he does best.
I'll let you know as soon as I know.
