BradP You are correct. This duet of 1050 dominators are destined to sit atop your 871. You will need them.

UNCHAINED, I have to defend against smaller speed shops because my old man runs one. He specializes in marine engines and we may not have a dyno to test them but we have a river to run them on to verify that everything is straight before we turn the boat or motor over to the owner. He has an excellent reputation in his area for building reliable and hard running motors.that is the best dyno you get the real deal not a print out.Its not a paper race but a real race when it matters most.

We currently have 950 hours on our stock 1350 hp plant, and still running great. And most of those hours were at WOT.
Lycomming Linear Longevity!!

I've been curious about cryo-hardening for marine apps. A friend of mine used to race Karts and he cryo'd damn near everything, even spark plugs. This was a few years ago, but it does'nt seem like I hear too much about it anymore. Are many builders freezing their stuff these days?[/QB][/QUOTE]
