That all sounds like fun......except the fuel bill:yikes:

4.20 x 200 = 840:yikes::yikes::yikes:

i watched the 3rd one run yesterday and im going to just put these in the boat and give up,everyone and everything ive read says these should make 800+ hp

add a banks sticker to each I hear their worth a 100 hp and dont hurt the fuel economy:smilielol5:.....especially with crude topping $137.00 a barrell..........can we all stand $5.5 per gallon

Dmaxxx3500, I'm close by, I'm sure I could help you push down the throttle on one of the boats as I'm sure it's tough for you to hold it wide open on all three at the same time!:sifone:
 
holding it open is easy ,i just need to finish shimming and hanging the door on the customers ''qvale'' roadster and hanging the front clip on it so it can go get painted,im just getting real tired of getting up at 4-5am to pick up customers cars 4 days aweek then fixing all the computers and trying to work on my projects on sundays,i just hope i can get to go out on it 1 time before the snow flys[these eng's should have been done last fall so i could have put them in last winter when work was slow]
