Just curious what did they tell you the power curve is when will it come to life are you using the preloader impeller(cant think of its proper name)

That thing should bark like a BIG Dawg
Keep an eye on your piston to valve clearence. I spun a bearing and had a valve kissin the piston real quick with less lift than your running.

George did a lot of work with Califonia Performance Boats. Put that thing in at 3+ (advanced), if you have TRW pistons you must flycut (valve clearance). Run an a/b and 1/8" nozzle, it will leave and top out good. If you have good pistons, clay the clearance!

[396_WAYS_TO_SPIT]

The pistons are speedpro(trw). George told us to check for clearance. The might be able to get by without flycutting.

I understand where your comming from BUT, I am being coached by bergeron marine. They run I think 4 superstock boats. I watch them build the motors for thier boats. I have tried to prove them wrong and I cant. hell he's the only boatshop in AZ that has thier own machine shop. They build alot of thier own parts. I am not saying your wrong, Im just being coached by someone that has over 30years in the marine industry.
