The final numbers so far are 655hp @ 5500 and 720ft of torque from about 1800 to 4700. The torque falls down to like 690 at 5500. I have tried props untill I am blue in the face, and have run 100 with a labbed bravo 34 @ 5300. It will run 99 @ 5600 with a labbed 32 bravo. I think the 100 degree Texas heat is hurting me some. I have added all the vents I could to the engine compartment but, my wife wont let me add a scoop. Maybe in the fall it will pull the 34 to 5500.
I have noticed that it requires alot more trim to run the Teague 33 and the 34 than it does the 32. I am assuming that the 34 and 36 have some different characteristics.
All this being said, I will either add the aluminum heads and my 9lb pulley this winter or, go for a 800hp motor from one of the major builders. I would like to get up in the high teens to 120.
As a update, I was on the phone with Ray from Raylar friday. He is working on a engine like mine with the 3.3 whipple, mine has the 2.3. It is supposed to dyno this week. If he turns the numbers that he is hoping for, I think I have found my upgrade. I will probably try the cnc heads with bigger valves and a little more boost first. I am planning on talking to Dustin Whipple this week to see what the HP limit is for the 2.3. I want to make 750 to 800 hp. Maybe these guys will chime in.

Thanks,
Yea I did the floor. It was very simple in my boat. I think the 4x8 sheet was about $125.00. I made templated out of card board, cut it with a diamond bladed skill saw and cleaned it up with a grinder and a flapper wheel.
I did not want to use any screws so I glued it down with some silicone. It has held up great so far.

Thanks, I enjoyed that setup last summer and sold the motor in September. I stepped up the power a little on this one. Here is the write up on it. This one runs a little stronger.
