Hyper, HP is unknown. I run a 1.5 gear in a SS Bravo and turn a 29 Spinelli prop 6000 to 6300 RPM for upper 90's on GPS and radar. Acceleration is second to none. The boat weight less than 3000 lbs.

If you have found a way to do this you are a "Guru" and I will be giving you a call
3) I have since switched to Crower extreme duty but plan on changing them every 40 hours whether they need it or not.
This year I plan on trying a different spring , I usually change the Comps every 80 -100 hours.

1) My goal is NOT to break chit (ok, maybe a drive or 2 realistically)........
2) When was the last tim you said no effin way.......was it the speed pool that you (nor I) took home that most in said my little small blocks would barely run 60 mph in the 31 foot tank ? You can always call me.............you know how it is when one of us is down...................Midnight Marine Corp opens up at 5 PM or so. Howabout this.......If, when I do get around to it, get this project underway, if I can get the valve train to live for 400 hours, you owe me a set of the ones that lasted - lol
3) I think you made a good move with the crowers. They ran them in the 5, and they looked good at the rebuild, and now I know Scarry Anne has them in hers (another overnight, Sat delivery b4 a pokerrun
) and I think Lenny may have made the switch too. Blown 1500, I would have given you a call yesterday, but sometimes this work think interferes with things like this - lol
Also, that is the combo I'd like to build (w/ a 6.800 rod) I know some will try to get me to go bigger, but I thik this or a 582 with a long rod would be a good choice.
