    Dan, you should have seen a performance improvement with the 2 carbs. Makes me wonder if the 2 carbs are to small? I had 2 660's on my lake jet (600+ hp Ford) it would run dead on 90 mph. I replaced the 660' with a set flowed 750's it run 100 mph. The floed 750's did get sucky gas miliege. I eventaully got a set of 1050's and my gas miliege improved quite a bit and the boat on a good day would run around 104 mph. What size carbs did you go with? Also did you sell your othe intake and carb yet? I may be interested in it. I realy don't want the scoop but I do understand if you want to sell them all together.

    Good meeting you too Bill. Funny thing............you see Bill (Big Proppa) and the first thing that comes to mind is, Christ, I hope I don't piss this guy off. Then you find out he's cool as hell. Glad to hear ya got the boat running for Sunday. Wish I coulda seen her run.
    P.S. nice fish.
    Hack, I always wondered about the strake thing. When I saw the pics of them all diced up, I was curious as to how they'd hold up like that. Unfortunately we know now.
    RD, the Holley carb is spoken for. The manifold is still available though. I have to wonder with regards to the carb thing though. I'm only running around 500 hp and I don't know if it needs any more air/fuel. I'm currently running the 660's. The last 3/4 of pedal doesn't do anything at all. It seems to me that's an indication of something, but can't recall if it's too much carb, or not enough. If I enter 850's on the Desktop Dyno program, it only shows a gain of 3 hp at 5500 rpm over the 660's on my motor. Let me know via PM on the manifold if interested.
    I'll say it again. Awesome day. CBBB is fun, but there are soooo many people there, it's a little daunting. It was easier to meet people at this one and I'm looking forward to knowing more folks for this year's CBBB and any other events that I can make it to.
    I'll definitely do the FBC again next year again too. Thanks again Roostwear. Nice job.

    Dan,
    Glad we got to meet you. We floated downriver 10 miles, then back to the park lookin' for someone to run. A white v-driver with 3 s's on the side made some passes. Karen said, "Drop me off if you want to run him" Dropped her off but the guy was already tied up. Pulled up next to a blue and white STV(?) but he didn't want to run. Topped fuel off in Parker...never got back to the cove that day. Sunday, Karen and I made the first (I think) speed pass in front of the RV site before headin' downriver. 93 mph. Hope everyone was awake by then? We had a blast!
    Randy, sorry we missed you. Maybe we'll hook up at C3B?

    I ran my daytona this weekend for the first time, alls I can say
    is WOW :eek!: the boat handles great, has PLENTY of power and I could not be happier.I made some short blasts out there and i think its got potential. Ill be at waterwheel this weekend getting some more seat time and some more testing in.
