The throttles on the dash unless Im in the air. There is a huge difference in how the boat rides at speed, its just starting to work about 50~55

What did I get out of this. Hmmmmm. I need exhaust, currently looking for emi thunders, 496 stock, etc. probably the emi since I get military discount. after we get that I think I'm gonna wing it with a lunati voodoo like the one recommended or possibly a comp xm284hr. Once I decide on that I will order springs to accommodate. And already have king x bearings on order to adjust the main clearance.

Thats good I have faith in you. You made it this far and have an open mind and kept your sense of humor through out. That's huge. Not to stir up the pot but if you want to save some money on exhaust put an ad in the wanted section for some 496 manifolds.

I see no reversion issues with your cam choice which by the way looks like a pretty good choice for your application. Similar to the zz502 proven cam yet having a 112 lsa.

BTW forgot to get u on this one also. In reality everyone wants to swing a bigger bumpstick and reversion is rarely an issue. A matter of fact it's quite the contrary. Lol.
