As a lot of you know, I am repowering my 94. I am looking at 4 different packages
500 efi
525 s/c
550 n/a
600 s/c
2 set ups are used - 2 will be new when built
My old set up were 502/ 390's which got me 63-66 mph all day long. Does anybody have similar hp in there boat so I can compare what my actual top speed should be around ??
My guess would be
500 68-70
525 70-72
550 73-75
600 76-78 mph
Ive tried the formula thats been floating around for my 502's and it came out REAL SLOW compared to what I was actually doing.
Merry Christmas

Here is my go at it:
500 efi / 71MPH
525 s/c / 72MPH
550 n/a / 74MPH
600 s/c / 78MPH- Boatme gets a little faster with this exact set-up but I think his boat is lighter than yours Bob.

I have had several Top Guns with everything between 575hp up to 975hp a side; with 600sc all day any day people, fuel and adult beverages, 74mph on fresh water lake is the best. The 975's ran 93mph same load same conditions.
