Then there's no need for the quad rotor. (But it looks cool) It's hard to make much less than 1000hp, even with as little as 5 pounds of boost.

Now that would be a good Konrad test. Are you running 1050hp with a Konrad? I realize they handle under 900HP well, but I haven't seen anyone running big HP on front of one.

These were 540,s then I stroked them to 557.

Call me old school.

The new 5.0 whipple would be my second choice.

That is a psi blower set up right?...........What lind of cost was that set up...........blower, carbs, pulleys,linkage........etc i dont think i will run a intercooler i boat in pretty cold water as it is, plus i would have to build a hatch 5 feet high............

That is one bad ass mill, to bad we have to close doors over the top of them.............
