hi Erik, my friend and engine builder Johnny do always use the car headers during the dyno. And they use to work fine. But this time they were little to small. Even Johnny said that. The exhaust fitings in the dyno rig fits car headers better than the marine headers. Thats the reason. Thanks for finding this project intresting. /Mange

On the other hand, that will only be a "dyno number". In the boat you will already have those horses available since you have what looks like a nicely tuned manifold there...!!!

Mange,eng.looks great in the boat.Got a few dumb questions.That 572,was it a GM crate eng or somthing somone had built?Also what is the comp?How i wish i was on fresh water ware i could use allum. heads and be able to kick up the comp. without having to use 110 racing fuel.When i put my first 540 together with the 13 an half pistons it was like adding 5# boost compared to the 10 to 1s i use now.
