I'm going to try and post a video, not sure if it will work.
This is the world record run for Still Crazy in 1983. She should be running like this again very soon!

Steve said the boat had small blocks that put out right around 500 horsepower each. Rebuilt HP 500's are going back in supposedly around 508hp each. The biggest difference is the drives and transmission. The boat originally had #2's and then was switched to #4's with Borg Warner trannies. Steve said it ran over 100 with the #2's and slowed down to the 93.890 with the #4's. After the speed trial I believe they got it to run around 95 tops.
It will be interesting to see what she'll run now without the higher loss from the #4's and trannies and with new prop technology. I'm not sure how we'll compare to the weight when it ran in '83 but I suspect it'll be more now with stereo, gps, etc and big blocks.
