There is a hell of a deal on the swap shop for EMI exhaust.
I agree sell your bravo 3 and get a bravo 1. Are the Bravo uppers the same? Can he just swap the lower? If so sell the lower and get a -2 shortie. Assuming the drive is to low which I probably is. That would need to be measured.

What heads do you have? If you would like share a few of the particulars.

The cam is the key. Did you use RMbuilder for your valvetrain? I just gained 5 MPH with about 2k in parts. I already had exhaust, forged 489, Holley MPI and everything else that goes with it. Exhaust and intake alone will not get you much. What are these magic beans someone sold you on.

The key to the whole project is the magic beans..... Just kidding, I think I might just sell the boat and maybe get one that can already do what I want instead of dumping a bunch of money and hoping!

Hey Jeff,
Just wanted to make sure you know that I had QUOTED "Stevesxm" from a previous post of his. It looked as if it was my post. I was wondering the same thing you were.
By the way did you get your boat propped correctly. I don't recall seeing anything new since you were looking for a 23 pitch.

Ask yourself a question. Do you really like the boat? My boat is a lot different than most, I have a walkthrough windshield with steps molded in, anchor storage in the bow, U shaped seating, tall cuddy. It is very usable, so I added bolster seats and a bunch of HP to get what I wanted. I trailer the boat and most of the time it is just the wife and I. A bigger boat means harder to load and trailer. If you do not like the boat then sell it and buy what you want.

you didn't read properly. the sentence you are refering to is " ththis forum has , maybe, 500 threads at start with " i just spent $ 5000 on new exhaust, new intake , new ignition and some magic beans and im supposed to have an additional 200 hp now but i don't go any faster... why not ?"
i was refering to the many many threads that start with that sentence or words to that effect. and my point was simple. there is no magic to getting more speed as long as you do your homework and that homework does not involve just just opening a summit catalog and believing the hype. i was simply suggesting a calmer and more rational approach . i understand how that may have gone unrecognized
i was not refering to any work or problems i have with my own equipment.

My response is; That makes sense to me now. Did you do some upgrades this year? Seams like you were talking about it.
