Speed Gains f0r 2011: What did you do?

Wondering?

Who spent this winter looking for added speed, and what changes did you do to your boat? Different props? Maybe going from a Bravo prop to a labbed Maximus (any out there try that?). Bigger cam(s), new intake(s), or a new blower(s), cylinder head work, bottom work, raised X-dimension...what did you do. How much speed did you gain? Does the boat handle differently, other than speed gain, ie. more bow rise, loose feeling, ect?

I find it interesting to see who did what, what works, what didn't work, ect. Share your experience. Thanks

I rebuilt my trailer and put my setback's in. Last year I was stuck at 108 on the river, but the water pressure was pinned. No more adjustments with the engines bolted to the transom.

added a weiand 256 supercharger and P5 prop, went from 69 to 78mph

:biggrinjester:wife and I went on diet - speed gain TBD

Added more girls with boob jobs! No change in speed, but more fun! :D

Replaced my wheel bearings....Had her up to 86.5. Oh,you meant the Boat...My Bad.

Raised the x and worked on props. Also added a 18" notch and gained 2 MPH.

Changed cam timimg, milled heads, removed water pumps and re-gelcoating the bottom now(big job...)

Proof is in the pictures post #5. LOL

absolutely nothing... guess I'm getting lazy

Now that sounds like a job and a half, alot of work. Keep at it, 2 mph is still a gain, and that is what matters. I would take an additional 2 mph any day of week.

I'd bet good money my upgrades are more drastic than anyone's. We simply bought a boat and that gained me a good 65+mph. :seeya:
