Last Friday, we put my new 498 on the dyno to get it setup for the boat, and break her in. Spent a full day there, but had peak numbers by about 1pm. Everything we tried after that led us back to the setup we had earlier in the day.... but you can't fault anyone for trying to squeeze a couple more out of their mill
As it turned out our home made tunnel ram top worked just fine with those Wilson shear plates. Even looked pretty sexy too

The motor made and carried over 700ft lbs of torque from about 5100-5600 (don't have the sheets right in front of me) Yes its still about the HP, but with all the pissing that goes on here about that, I figgured I'd present a different aspect of the power. All in all I'd have to say that it had a lot to do with the now dubbed "Bad Mo Fo" head setup we opted to try in place of the normal AFR selection that would have topped the deck.

It should help push that big heavy Spectra around fairly well If not it will look pretty good regardless.
