Cool Dude. I hope mine sounds that good

You get the video to run OK? My connection is running like a snail this weekend for some reason.

Looks and sound great.
Are you monitoring any engine functions with that setup. Oil,water rpm's etc.

Kojac
That setup is only to put some heat in the engine to retorque etc.
I watch oil pressure only when I do that. Water temp is manual calibrated feel. :notam:
The objective this time was to set fuel pressure, idle mixture and idle speed.
Take them to the dyno for the real stuff. :cool:

[HEAVYBOAT]

Sounds like you got that one running real nice. They even run better with the pulleys swapped from top to bottom :wink:

Thanks man.
You are right. It only made 2 pounds of boost. But made 742 HP.
Who knows what it would have done with the pulleys swapped.

[HEAVYBOAT]

2 pds? Something doesnt seem right does it? My guess is the Bds is only a stage one or two , which is hard anodized and not stripped, but thats what my very first blower was and even with a intercooler spun 5% under still made 4psi on a 547. Whats in it for a cam and what rpm were you measuring the boost?

[Infomaniac]

Stage 2 not stripped. 3 seasons old. Lots of cam and air flow out the headers.
Watched boost as he loaded it from about 4000 RPM down, Got out of the way as it did the sweep. Manual gage as always.
I was expecting about 4 pounds according to the CID/pulley/boost charts
Good 89 octane machine. :D :cool:

[jamessampica]

Ok,i'll ask is it on GAS or ALKKY?

When I had the FED in the garage under the house, I would roll it out into the driveway on New years Eve, and fire it up at Midnight. I always figured it was a good way to start the new year.
The neighbors thought I was nuts, I guess they still do!!! :sqeyes:
Car had a 354 Chrysler Hemi with a 2 4bl intake, and zoomies. Always wanted to put a blower on it, but it was to old to get the chassis certified and too fast with out the blower to even consider it.
The engine sounds really nice!!!

[Infomaniac]

Cannot hurt if the neighbors think you are a little nuts. :D
Use it to your advantage.

I have to be honest, I was even scared just watching that video!! And just maybe you should have had both hands on the wheel there Mr father figure! Or better yet , let him film :hammer2: :hammer2: LOL
And Im sure you know,That kid is currupt for ever after feeling that kind of speed and g's on his face. :D Start them off young I guess.

Infomanic-- Awesome video , do you have any video shots from the shoreline. If the video camera can keep up. Hows the ride at top end. Do you use the cav plates much. How does ride at high speed kind of like a tunnel with and outdrive (meaning alittle flitye in the front). My brother has a 22 1/2 daytona that goes 115 mph. Seeing that video has opened my eye to something else if i stop racing my hydro.

Ron,
Absolutely insane :messedup: ! I've got to meet you in person one day and we'll swap rides! That v-drive set up has got to nearly snap your neck off! Got my new BMAX in today, shouldn't be breakin that beast with my little motor next year. Thanks for reminding us all why we work so hard to play so hard!

I do not have many videos from the bank.
Here is one (http://www.riverratlife.com/uploads/info/Snowman.mpeg)
Racing a very quick jet with a ton on nitrous.
Boat rides pretty flat. Does not fly the nose. It wil go over rollers at top speed like they are not even there.

[HEAVYBOAT]

Cars are soooo lame compared to that shit. Man ohh man,thats so BAAADD ASS! :D
I just noticed, watch the red boat in the background disappear, and to think he was already moving. :cool: ...thats what I would do to all your guy's red minivans, so stay off my road!

[oknozelman]

I love that boat, yal sould ride in it. It feels fastr than it looks! :rollside: :smile: :smile:

I think he should let the kid drive, and film him! :) :)
He looked like he was ready to try it!!

LOL I do have a video of him driving.
Even better I have footage on him in a tube behind that boat. :supp: :supp:

[Daytona 25]

That is some serious acceleration!!!!
Info, I need to get ahold of you for a quote on my Hp 500. What is the best time to get ahold of you?

[HighRoller]

I was curious too, why the 8-71 instead of a whipple? Did the customer already have the blower or is it because the roots setup is so much cheaper?

Yes and Yes. :wink:

Can I borrow your tools? :D

[HighRoller]

So inquiring minds want to know, why pay for the Whipple over the roots if you're looking for 700'ish HP? Does the Whipple have a different power curve or more torque?
Sorry hit the edit button instead of quote.

[Infomaniac]

My neighbors know better than to ask.

[Infomaniac]

Well honestly you do not even need a blower to make 700 HP but it sure is easy. :p :p
Theoretically the Whipple should make more torque and power at the same boost level. We will have to wait until Trident dyno's one of theirs. Trident will be looking for a 700 HP and 900 HP tune up with an identical engine but a 3.3 intercooled Whipple.

Heavy boat it was radared at 138 mph the fastest I've ran is 159 mph
http://www.***boat.com/hbcove/37/3/01.jpg

[superdave013]

Hey Heavy, this one's for sale less engine. Bet you could make it run the mid 7's with your big ford on a mild tune up. Your car would seem boring after a spin in an open cockpit hydro.
http://www.***boat.net/hbcove/39/1/01.jpg

[HEAVYBOAT]

Those boats are obnoxious. :D
Super,
I actually have a pretty good imagination, and I start laughing when I really think about what that must be like to drive one of those things.
The only thing in my defence is I drive my 8-second car on the street, which feels ten times crazier then at the track like most drag racers experience.
My last boat was a 2000? searay 185 that had a 4.3 litre 220 horse deal.(4barrel) I got it up to 55mph and even that was a blast. I can appreciate the power and danger involved to run that kind of mph on water. One day I would like ride in something around 80mph or so on water.. Maybe info will invite me down for a rip one summer.. I’ll bring the Canadian beer!!! :220v:
Rick

[Infomaniac]

You are invited any time man.
A more tame ride would be in the quad rotor boat. A bit bigger boat with the quad rotor slug engine in it.
It goes 90 MPH before you get into the carb secondaries. From there you can ease into the throttle and accelerate past 120 pretty quick.
A little different ride than sitting right on the water out in the wind.
One more video from the archives (http://marineassault.net/InfoFinal2-Big.wmv)

[whiskey & water]

Dragboats thanks for the compliment, your location says near 1/4 mile cove meaning near camp far west , if so are you going new years day? If you do look for these crew and have a beer with us

Info
How do you set up the pc so that others can download the videos?

[Infomaniac]

You need a digital video camera and capture the video to the computer via a firewire. A fire wire card is needed.
Upload the video somewhere on the net and then link to it.

[KNOT-RIGHT]

I have the camera and I have videos on my PC just dont know how to let others view them.I have one of the Blower engines running on my stands
with open headers. Also have a clip of the boat running 107 in Narragansett
Bay. I dont know how to let people upload them like youve done.
How do i let others upload?
Thanks
Gerry

[Infomaniac]

You need an internet "host" and you upload your video to them via an FTP program. Then you link to it so others can download it.
Maybe your ISP has "web space" for you? To host your videos.
Same as Hot Boat's media center. You upload a pic to there and then link to it to display in your posts. Only their web site software allows uploads.
