Default 1050 HP on Pump gas....

My friends motor that I talked about a couple of months ago came out on the cover of most Hot Rod magazine'sin this months issue. (June issue) Pick up an issue and read all about it. The thing idles beautifully too. However, when they are racing, they throw in a mix because he also has a small fogger system on it.

Incredible power he's getting out of that motor.... he's broke into the 8's in his boat with it. (And he has the heaviest boat in his class by far)

The engine builder has been trying to get me to let him build me a motor for about a year now.... maybe is my answer.

cheers,
Beach Bum

Yeah he's a rich bastard.... has a lot of neat toys. Said he paid a hair over 30K for the motor.... he has another 30 + in his boat. Funny thing, in the racing he is doing, the payouts are like $ 100 for a class win.... racing never adds up. :crazy:

cheers,
Beach
