Well, at 12 to 1 comp it all depends what they have at the dock!.
$13,600 for the 720 HP Motor...not bad at all. A little to much compression for a river Boat and a change of oil pan would make a great motor....no?
I've got that amount in my change pocket for that Motor.
I ran a 13:1 motor in my Daytona. There are no gas-docks out here that would fuel that.
So I would drop the mortgage payment at the gas station and haul a bed full of gas cans to the lake.
It was fun though
I am seriously considering the 620 hp version for my boat. I have chatted with Dennis Moore a few times about this motor. He thinks it would be a great torque monster but the cam is a little wild in it's present state and would probably cause a water reversion problem. He gave me some cam specs he felt would work well in this motor and still produce 575-600 hp and 650 ft pounds of torque and still have a smooth idle. I have run a ZZ502 in my boat for over 4 years now (ever since they came out and you had to assemble the top end yourself) with absolutly no problems. I'm still doing some research on a few things about this motor such as flywheel etc, but I think one of these will be in my future.
Why not the 720 HP one and run a thicker head gasket and or a Cam that would bleed of some compression?
With Aluminum Heads and moderate Timing I would think 10.75:1 would work just fine on 93 pump gas...no?

Interesting thought. Anyone else want to pipe in with some ideas?
Of course it would work but you will make a big sacrifice in the power department!..You get what you pay for!..
That 572 looks like a nice deal.
I had a 10.9:1 in a 502. but I never had the brass nuts to run pump gas.
I think 11:1 is pushing it but I heard it could be done but I did not want to be the guinea pig that tried it. Especially with the load put on by the jet.
