Welcome to the board Fast Freddy!
What motor do you have in your rage?
RD
when i bought the boat new it had a 425 horse 496 HO with bravo x series drive. this motor was one of the older ones so it has the forged steel crank. the highest i ever GPS'd when the boat was bone stock was at lake pleasant. i GPS'd 71 mph with a 24 pitch prop and very little weight (1 passenger, 2 coolers and 20 gallons of fuel) in the boat. last winter i had larrys engine & marine bolt on a 2.3 L whipple charger and ran only 4 lbs of boost with a way to rich tune. it was only making like 550 HP. on memorial weekend i hit 78 mph on GPS at lake havasu with a 28 pitch prop. i had 4 people on the boat, 3 full coolers and about 45 gallons of fuel. i only managed 5,000 rpm's. unfortunately at roosevelt lake over labor day weekend i had a pushrod break. so i decided to have larrys engine & marine take my boat to the next level.
they pulled my engine and bored it .030 over and hung scat H-beam rods on the stock forged steel crank and larry put in his custom designed forged JE pistons. they are dished pistons and my compression ratio is now a boost friendly 8.5:1. the bottom end of my engine is now built to handle 900 horsepower. larry treated the stock iron heads to 5 way radiused SI intake valves and fully radiused inconel exhaust valves. larry had comps cams grind me a custom hydraulic cam with .612 lift and more duration (split pattern) than the stocker on a 114 LSA. larry installed 1.7 ratio lunati roller rockers and last but not least better 3/8 pushrods. we changed the boost pulley on the blower and now i a making 6.5 psi.
dustin at whipple retuned my computer with a custom map for this new combo and we put it on the dyno last week and set everything up with a safe tune. i am running the stock ignition system and colder spark plugs with bigger fuel injectors, bigger fuel pump and bigger fuel pressure regulator, etc. with 30 degrees of timing and a 11.5:1 A/F ratio it made 688 HP and 789 TQ. i have included a few dyno sheets here below for you to see.
larry's also installed IMCO's dual ram hydraulic steering and i had my 28 inch bravo prop lab finished. they reset my rev limiter to 5,400 rpm's so i should be able to run the 28 inch prop up to max rpms now. i figure this new setup should be good for at least 85 mph on GPS now. it might even go as fast as my kachina has.............that bein 86.9 mph

Craig - yes that would be the album cover to great whites "HOOKED"
the name of my nordic boat is: "FLY-N-HI"
the name of my kachina boat is: "HIGH voltage"
on the side of my engine scoop on my kachina is the nickname for that boat, that says: "ride the lightning"
all of my boats have slammin stereo systems. in my nordic i have 2 rockford amps totalling 1500 watts and a clarion marine CD head unit. the 10 speakers spread out through the boat consist of 8 diamond audio pro series seperate mids and tweets and two 10" JL audio bass speakers. i keep everything charged with 2 optima marine batteries.
Craig - i will be sure to give you a heads up when i take my nordic to the lake for its shakedown runs with my new engine. i will be gettin my boat back from larry's this next week. i will be takin my sand rail to glamis new years weekend so i plan on hittin pleasant on a saturday sometime in january after that.

Welcome Fast Freddy! Several of the guys I hang out with are from Tucson. That group mostly frequents Apache and San Carlos. One of the guys is here on the boards occasionally (HeavyHitter) and had a Kachina like yours with a twin turbo 514 Ford that ran very well. Name on the boat was "Clownin Around". He sold it to a guy in Phx so it's still around AZ. Now he's in a Cheetah tunnel with green flames on it. If you see us at the lake be sure to stop by and say hello. I could swear I've seen your Nordic on Apache but it could also be Pesky's old boat that I still see once in a while. I just got back from Larry's myself a few weeks ago. That's always an expensive trip!
:cool:

FF,
I haven't had my boat out since September, so I'm ready for a January Saturday at the lake. I want to try out a 34 Bravo I borrowed :)

Craig - thats a nice boat you got there. to pull that 34 pitch prop you must be runnin close to 1000 hp? i assume your currently runnin a 32 pitch prop? how many rpm's are you turnin?
