If that won't do it nothing will.
Be careful how much throttle is given when going through 3,500 unless you intend on carrying spare quick change drives. The load should be freed up when it gets to 6,000

Yeah...I kid him alot about breaking drives, and he always says, "but I was just cruising!"
Yeah...cruising a very wet V-bottom with that much torque...
That sheet almost looks like it came out of Marine Assault's Double Secret Speed Division.

Actually there is a project now in the Marine Assault double secret speed division.
It is not nearly the engine that one is though. It will be a single 3.3 Whipple 4.0" stroke deal. Edelbrock Marine heads. Still in the Desktop Dyno development stages.
Here is a screen capture using 8 lbs of boost which will be the upper limit for this one.
Was able to get the flow numbers from Dustin Whiipple to use as the blower specs.

Very nice.
GRASS PAY$ is using the old-school 10-71 approach....
...according to HEAVYBOAT...that should be worth 100HP or so.

I like the way it's still making 350 HP at 10,000 RPM. :) :) :) :)

Nothing wrong with a 10-71.
This one is 120 HP over budget as it is.
Will not be killing any drives. Going in front of a jet.
