Got Serious P O W E R ??? !!!

They are cutting it close to make it to the Miami Boat Show, but they will be there!

Other mods to the boat need to be done. Notching of a stringer to offset it so that the wider engine will fit. Means cutting out a cross bulkhead, adding another inch to the inside of the stringer then fiberglass back in the cross bulkhead. Fuel delivery lines also need to be redone with larger lines for proper fuel flow. Then lets not forget the sweet pearl paint work to finish off the engine compartment...:cheers2:

I found yours in a undisclosed location. Trust me, it is in a very warm place. :cheers2:

Frank looks like he's enjoying himself there...

Sweet mills,

Thanks for the pictures, you should put your band lower it hides a lot of details in the bottom of those mills!

Unfortunately the site does not recognize a watermark on a portrait setting. So it only displays correctly in a landscape mode...

I put in a change for a more transparent watermark on the portraits. Not sure how long it will take to update.....

PEEEEUUUTTTY FUULL !!!!!!!! :sifone:

One of my all time favorite boats. Glad to see it live again. I am curious why the engine is a wet sump oil system with that much power?

That's what I was trying to figure out and could not see well enough with the watermarks... Is it wet?

I'm thinking the same thing.

Those must be 8.3 L Whipples with the small amount of overdrive. There is no way they would make that much power with 5 liters and that little overdrive.

It does have one large throttle body with the fuel rail underneath it. The braided hose that goes to the regulator is coming from the fuel rail under the blower. The braided hose on the other side of the rail is coming from the bellhousing cooler that is being used as a fuel cooler.

By the way, very nice looking engines.

I Need more education.

In my mind, 1600 horsepower will need a lot more fuel volume than a 10AN line will deliver. Is that overcome with higher pressure?

[Tom A.]

My understanding is that they are set up to run 1300 on 93 octane, and 1600 on race fuel. Not sure of the high pressure fuel pump.

 

[Geronimo36]

Great lookin engines!!!!

Any reason why they stayed with a wet-sump with that much power?

Their ECO friendly right? That's bad ass!

You actually can support it with a 10 an and a bunch of pressure. Two problems though: it looks to have a Mefi ecm judging from the plugs and such. A mefi will only support high impedence injectors and the 5.0/8.3 Whipple only has room for 10 injectors.(the quadrotors can accept 12 injectors) The largest high impedence injector is 65 lb. There has been talk of a 75 or 80, but I haven't seen it yet. (10) 65 lb injectors will only support about 1500 hp, with a ton of pressure. That leads to problem 2. I don't think that Aeromotive fuel pump has the capacity to run the pressure and volume needed to support 1600 hp.
Not trying to start anything, just answering a question and trying to understand. Maybe he knows something that I don't
Regardless, they are very nice looking.

24 degree heads and wet sump = 1600 hp?
