The Mach 1 Project is finally back together

Click here to see the Mach 1 Project with American Turbine components (http://www.banderlog.com/phpBB2/view...?p=37539#37539)

I figure yours will be slightly faster than mine but still pretty close... I'll have allmost 450 HP... on paper...

looks good.... be safe and good luck William

Thanks for the compliments

When you going to run it again William? Im interested in hearing how that AMT stuff works for ya.

Damn Big Will! That rig is plain right sick!!!!!!! I am anxious to see the numbers;) Glad to see ya representin' for tha squirt boats;)
Spitter.......

Wow! What do you expect that thing to run? If it runs as good(bad) as it looks holy crap.

Thanks for posting up, appreciate it.

Wow I'm trying to deal with the 10,000 rpm #. Man, how much power do you think you get out of that Monster?

That thing is just nuts! Awesome!

He has run 152 mph in the boat before. Changed some pump parts and turned up the power some.

170 mph.
Where is the capsule?:idea:

Capsule?:confused: Didn't you read the story?:confused:
This is just a lake boat.:crossx:
JPC says turning an American Turbine 9.5" impeller at 10,000 rpms takes only
3,420 hp.:jawdrop:
There's no 85% rule in lake boating.:D
PS:In case you missed it, thats three thousand, four hundred twenty ponies.:jawdrop: + or - a few :)
Be safe William, your doing an awesome job. Enjoy the ride............

Yes I did read the hole story. I kept going back to: 9.5" impeller will hopefully pull the engine "down" to 10,000 rpm's.
So yes, "Where is the capsule?" . That thing is just bad to the bone:)

502 Jet,
According to engine builder, taking in consideration the CID, boost level, fuel curve and other factors the engine is making approximately 4000 HP.
Sleeper CP,
This project has always been centered around an open lake jet, no capsule.
Thanks to all for posting up,

Sheesh
I'll be throwing rocks at that thing;) :idea: :sqeyes:

You'd better have one helluva an arm there gramps!

John,
Not to worry about Fleet, I usually run after 6:00PM anyway, that is past the old timer's bedtime.

Man, I am sure feeling the love:rolleyes: I want to be there as a chase boat. At least mine can run half as fast as the Mach1:D

I want to be there as a chase boat.
We were planning to run at Turlock but may want to go to CFW instead, how are the conditions out there, is there enough water to run?

Man, I am sure feeling the love:rolleyes:...
You know we love ya gramps. Just couldn't resist...:D

William, If you go out to CFW let me know!.
By the way, the boat looks Bitchen. Good luck and be safe.

Are you putting Nitro in that thing?? 4000HP kinda had me thinking.
OverKill

That sure is purdy.
William have you fired this engine up yet? Can you video this.

That thing looks crazy fast. Be safe out there.................... Looks to me like you better run that thing where there is no one around to call on ya. That thing look looks like it would attract the LE from miles around like blood in the water for sharks.
Ever thought about maybe hitting up the IHBA to see if they would let you in for some kind of exhibition pass at Firebird?? You would have the lights to give you some accurate info and you would be assured to have a rescue crew right there if something went wrong. Just my .02, but that would be the safest bet in my eyes. Don't know what class that thing would fit in.....
I guess I'm just being greedy because I'll be there and would kill to see that thing run...............:) Good luck with it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The engine is runnig a Nitro mixture, that's why I went with the dual MSD 44 amp mags.

That sure is purdy.

The engine has been fired and is ready to go.

William, If you go out to CFW let me know!.

Thanks for posting Moose, if we go to CFW, I will let you know.

CP Dad,
I take all applicable safety precautions into consideration when running at the lake, I know it will never be as safe as running at the track. My initial thoughts on the project were to only run at the local lake, I was having second thoughts about a year ago but it only seemed to cause more issues. I have too much to worry about already with preparing and driving the boat that I don't need the added complications. With that being said, the local lakes that I go are all hot boat friendly and have never been hassled by the LE. I have been working on this project for over 4 years now, I have taken my time and gone about things the right way. My initial goal was accomplished last year, I thought that would be enough and I could walk away from it but the boat has performed so well that I want to see it reach the maximum potential. With the latest change, I hope to see some very good MPH numbers.
Thanks for the good wishes,
-William

I got my Mach 1 fired up last night. :D

Right on, when are you going to bring it up north?

I don't know. I'd like to give my dad a ride in it someday, he lives in Porterville. Still south of you quite a bit though. My friends are telling me it should run in the 80's somewhere. :D :D :D
