Performance Jet in Ca. is the sh%t!!!

[skeepwerkzaz]

This guy named Jim Coffey in Nor-Cal is the pump Guru. He has invented a ton of stuff, has a Bs in hydrodynamics and has been around for a long time. He taught the guys at CP everything they know and charges about 1/2 their prices. Cool guy and he will do anything that you can ship. I am a big fan of his. He is in Sebastapol, Ca. He works w/you to set up your pump,hull,and engine to all work together, he also doesn't sell you a bunch of crap you don't need.

[RH]

skeepwerkzaz - Give me more info on this guy , phone# , business name , does he have a shop , sell parts and accessories Thanks

[skeepwerkzaz]

his # is (707)823-6713 and yes he can get anything you need in 2-3 days. He stocks some stuff.
Here are some examples...
Level 1 stock rebuild....600
Level 2 superstock.......700
Level 3 blueprinted&balanced..899
Level 4 Pure competition, mag-bronze or stainless and stuffer..1599
Just to put this into perspective, I got my pump blueprinted w/ a stuffer and an alum impellor from CP and it cost me 1400!!!

But I think you might want to clarify the Level 4 setup. I HIGHLY doubt that $1599 gets you setup with a new Stainless impeller. The impeller alone would run you over a grand and that would pretty much eat up the rest of his profit margin on the pump work. Once again I'm not slamming your guy, I just think you might want to clarify the stainless aspect of the level 4 job. Odds are its provided you supply the impeller.
Still good info though,
Chris

[skeepwerkzaz]

You do get the impellor with it. Not to slam you but have you ever heard of 100%+ mark-up? CP and all the others sure have. The more you order from him the farther below list he will go. He told me he gets his stainless impellors for around 6-7 bills. Call him if you don't believe me. However don't ask him how much a ss imp costs, ask him how muc the race rebuild costs w/ the imp.

[HBjet]

what is a "super stock" rebuild?
I've heard of Stage 1, 2, and 3, for your basics. Then there is a fully race preped pump rebuild.
Also, a stainless detailed impeller can cost $1500 and your getting what your paying for. It sounds like this guy is giving some good deals. Anyone else work with him?

What you pay for in this case is Agressor impellors. As he is a distributor for them and speaks very highly of them.

[jweeks123]

if YOU were a distributor for a product, would you NOT speak highly of it??

[skeepwerkzaz]

Point well taken.
But I saw all of the different types, i.e. berk, legend,agressor, and by far the agg. was the sweetest, and better made(in my lowley opinion).

BTW, have you seen a Aggressor Stainless impeller? Has anyone? How do they look?

does anyone know what kind of stainless Aggressor uses for their imp and what is the list price?

I'd be interested in seeing one of Jim's setups in action. Also, anyone with an Aggressor setup going to be at Lost Lake this Sat night, I've yet to loose to one. Not that It is that tough to beat me or anything like that, it's just funny that several of the boats I've run and stomped, had Aggressor Imps in them.......... :-O

HBjetlooky,looky...another guy who works on jetpumps in CA. For a second i though the only one was..er...you know(hb?) I am amazed someone mentioned him. Now that's some great info! Better watch it though skeep, you'll get critisized i'm sure, especially with that "other" comment you just made. Better use HB's bifocals and go back and reanalize those impellers cuz that just can't be right. :) BTW, HB since your here, what do you think about froggs comment on his new impeller and inducer?? Maybe he needs your bifocals? Just curious.

I HIGHLY doubt that $1599 gets you setup with a new Stainless impeller. REALLY NOW??? Now tell me Mr. liquidaddiction.net, with all your experence with OTHER shops(that's more than one if you dont know)that you have, how do you know this?? Are you calling skeep a liar??? Could it possibly be a stock rebuild with SS imp maybe?? As you guys have always told me, if a shop does good work,has good prices, and a guy is SO HAPPY about it he wants to tell the whole world (like you guys are with the ONLY SHOP YOU KNOW ABOUT) why mock them?? I'm listening. :)

Chet,
My info is based off of price checking new stainless impellers from most of the retailers in California (GS, MPD, Rex, CP Performance). Pull your head out of your ass, I never capped on Skeep, just wanted some clarification for the full blown race deal with stainless, as it sounds like a good deal. The reason I questioned it... because stainless impeller's run about a third of the total price quoted. Skeep answered the question and that was that. Now your shit sorry ass with the boat you flipped upside down, had someone do the bottom on, added 800hp or whatever it was to it and doesn't go any faster than before all the work, wants to come in here and start a bunch of shit over the thread. My offer stands again for this year, TOW YOUR BUCKET OUT TO CBBB 2 IN LAUGHLIN AND YOUR ROOM IS PAID FOR. Odds are the tow alone would be worth it for you as you would get a FREE prize. We all know you're full of shit, but since you have all the answers, come out and run your boat with the bad ass blower motor and expert pump setup against a couple of the NA lake boats that will be there. I'm dead serious; I want you there because I think I could easily get another 10 boats to show just based off the fact that people could meet you in person.
Last but not least, I always refrain from making derogatory remarks about someone's ride, as everyone puts a lot of work into their boats, and beauty is in the eye of the beholder. But since you continue to antagonize, I'll speak my mind without respect for your alleged work. YOU DO NOT HAVE A BOAT. IF BY SOME MIRACLE YOU DO, IT IS MOST ASSUREDLY A PIECE OF CRAP. The only pics we've ever seen of your bucket were of it upside down in a field on the side of someone's shop. Odds are, you drove by saw the boat sitting there, then one of your personalities assumed the identity of Mr. Jet boat Know it All. From there your twisted little mind came up with all kinds of outrageous stories about your imaginary boat and all the wonderful things you've done with it. I'm buying and you're flying, so bring the bucket to the River next August and prove me wrong. Then if you do, beers and entertainment in the Arrow Weed Lounge are on me. Until then, feel free to respond to this post, and then I don't want to hear another word from you with mention of my name. I don't call you out every time you post about pumps, so perhaps you could employ some restraint and do the same.

CHETI just wanted everyone to re-read the part where I have a 70mph daycruiser wink He's either predicting the future, or has a better GPS than mine.
As far as the boats out here being high dollar. Quite the contrary, I don't mean to offend anyone at the CBBB, but none of the boats there were the Lost Lake sleeper race boats you keep hearing about. These were classic river boats,wrenched by their owners, with a lot less HP than the Chetmobile (N/A, blower, whatever) and running pretty hard.
Seriously Chet, bring the rocket to Laughlin next August and your room is free for Friday, Saturday, and Sunday nights.

I went to see Jim (performance jet) this morning to pickup my hyd-place diverter and my nufflers. I will now clarify a few things. The $1599 rebuild comes with a mag-bronze aggressor. He will only use the agg. mag-bronze as he feels it is the best. If you want a stainless it will cost $200 extra, MY BAD, I was quoting from his pricelist. He sells the stainless for $800-900 and the mag for $500-600. The aluminum impellors that he uses are made by ledgend. He showed me the diff. between aluminum imps. and the difference was obvious. The same goes for the mag-bronze, the agg. was obviously superior. He didn't have a stainless on hand,let alone three to compare. With all that I saw the other day up there it was a little hard to keep all the imps straight. By the way he is a distributor for ALL the major pump guy's and these are his prefs. Another thing, he vary rarely uses stainless, as he feels that the mag-bronze can handle most anything that most of us can hand down.

[LVjetboy]

My bad....if you want a stainless it will cost $200 extra So Flat Brokes's first impression (and post) may've been right after all?
Another thing, he very rarely uses stainless, as he feels that the mag-bronze can handle most anything that most of us can hand down. My thought is man-bronze is strong and maybe value for the money, especially over aluminum, but let's talk HSS vs Titanium coated vs cobalt drill bits.
Ti coated is 6x the life of HSS but don't use them to drill SS or titanium. Cobalt on the other hand is 10x the life and use them to drill titanium or ss you choice. Thing is, no matter what you drill, over time cobalts will last longer. So do you want a dull bit on that next crucial job (the next job always being crucial from my experience) or pay for the best and get that job done?
So with impellers...more important than drill bits of course...do you want one that'll hold up "good enough for what most of us do" or the best money can buy? Especially if the best is only "$200" more?? Come on. If you're gonna spend $1600 for rebuild that extra $200 for SS seems a small sacrifice to me. Especially if getting the job done means making shore or an extra couple mph top end during a grudge match after years of sucking rocks and sticks abusing the leading edge?
This post has nothing to do with Jim's expertise. I'd also like to know more details and if there's an industry standard to pump rebuild "levels"

And to think i have said something like that along time ago with regards to a certain ultra that hb's buddy owns and got flamed and called a yahoo for it. This guy must be a yahoo too eh??
So with impellers...more important than drill bits of course...do you want one that'll hold up "good enough for what most of us do" or the best money can buy? Especially if the best is only "$200" more?? Come on. If you're gonna spend $1600 for rebuild that extra $200 for SS seems a small sacrifice to me.
good way to look at it LV BUT i think if you wanted to buy the impeller outright without the rebuild it would be a little more than 200 bucks. Besides dont you think that the weight savings let alone the bronze is pretty strong stuff and is rated up to 1500hp would make it worth going with bronze??? I check my aluminum impeller ever time i go out and with 700hp its just as new as when i put it in.
BTW, as a sidenote to flapper, i had an hour to kill last night and after our tiff above i decided to take the boat out and guess what?? With a shoe change(deeper) we got 5250 at.............it's comin....and its'.....85.4gps. YEA !! Thanks for the motivation. :) Last i knew from the other board, that thing the call "the pile" that makes everybody "awstruck" ran 85 at 5600 and after revamping everything it went 91 at 5600??? I think i fit in there pretty well...pretty well...especially when compared to a boat that is all MPD.

The irony there is that BNs boat is anything but a pile. It is a damn clean southwind, running a pretty basic setup that has been tuned very well.

Hey guys you'll find this in the hot boat cove area.(Hot boat home page)I just talked to the man myself.I asked him to look at my boat and help me with my problems.Very nice guy.I've had my boat for two seasons never relized this guy lives 4 houses down from my father inlaws.My father inlaw has benn bugging me for ever to go talk to the guy but just didnt want to walk up to his front door and say uh I need help with my boat.Anyway just rambling.
Of course, all of this power is useless without a drive to handle it, and that's where Jim Coffey of Performance Jet (Sebastapool, CA) came into play. They built the studly Berkeley pump, which is loaded with an Aggressor impeller, Mag-bronze B impeller, Berkeley race nozzle insert, droop snoot, shoe, ride plate, and Miersch intake.
Bowen, a service technician at a Saturn dealership, reports 108 mph on GPS, making his Daytona one of the fastest recreational unblown jets we've come across. At Berryessa, the boat is well known for its ego-crushing treatment of some of the resident blower boats.
