Brother in law owns a cylinder head shop up there and does some good work. He is going to come down to KS for Christmas and take it back with him to work on.

If I was you, I would get rid of the silent choice 525's will revert and the silent choice doesn't help.
Also do not forget when you pressure tested the headers it only means they are good right now, if they are the early ones it really is not if its when they go. Its not fun when you find that out.

For reference, we are right at 76MPH GPS in our PQ280/496HO/M1ProCharger/Bravo28P. We had some injector issues that I think we bought with the boat that had devolved into an almost depressing ride. Once we got that sorted out, we are seeing 76MPH @ 5000RPM. I'd think you should easily be able to reach that with yours. Keep diggin'. It's in there.
Thanks. Brad.

I would be very interested in how you take the factory mufflers off. The mufflers are bolted to the underside of the swim platform so I want to know how you access the bolt on the inside. Also holds true for the swim ladder....I've always wondered how they are able to reach into that tiny void back there to bolt everything down. Maybe it is done before the hull and deck are attached?
Anyhow, if you can snap some pix of the removal process, I would appreciate it.
And I am VERY jealous of you being able to clean up your bilge. Something I've wanted to do, but just never had any reason to pull my motors....yet.

I hit 73 in the shootout, and there was still more if I had a longer stretch of water.

These mufflers attach to the swim platform with screws, so nothing to hang on to on the other side

Got the engine all loaded up to head north to my brother in laws shop for a full top end refresh. It made it there safely yesterday evening. I plan on cleaning up the bilge and putting a fresh coat of paint on it sometime early March to prep for the engines return. Hoping to have everything back together for the spring Harbor Hop at LOTO the first weekend in May.
