I will have some good numbers by this weekend. One of the drives broke putting it into gear. We got to aprox 107 MPH @ 5000 RPM and it had me pinned in the seat! I didnt get to top it out. Im spinning the motors to 5800 so hopefully I get to strech it out in a few days!

another guy just broke his drive putting in gear. A 38? with blowers/ surge.

I think its the same guy.

JBergstrom777

Yup its me.....I also talked to the engine shop that dynoed and tuned my motors, he is going to try and get some of the surge out of them.

I got to run my boat all day without problems! Well,somewhat. I didnt break down! I got up to 115 MPH @ 5500 RPM and my fuel pressure was dropping so I backed out. I replaced my mechanical fuel pumps with new 172 GPH pumps and running around all day was fine except when I tried to top it out. I made several 110 MPH passes but when I stayed in it to find out how fast it was going to go my fuel pressure dropped to around 4 PSI @ 5500 RPM so I backed out. I have 1/2" fuel lines and 172GPH mechanical pumps, what should I do from here? I'm assuming the higher the RPM @ WOT the more fuel its requiring and I am coming up short?

I would think about going with electric pumps and a return line, also what size is your tank pickup?

Had a great time this weekend with you all. Your boat ran and looked GREAT....congratulations.!!!! I would suggest electric fuel pumps for that size engine.


How is the new truck?!?!
