After the ordeal getting to the river this weekend (see the Silver Lining thread in Hot Spots, West), I tested the Advantage with the converted carb.
I don't have GPS, so it was strictly tach, and seat-of-the-pants feel. The Advantage has a Berk "E" with an A impeller.
A couple things stood out right away. The hole shot was about the same, but at cruising speed, the flat spot it had when you tromped it was gone. It also accelerates hard from cruise. Wide open it picked up about 150 rpm, and felt a TON faster (probably just glad to be out on the water). Top speed now makes the bimini do bad things.... suffice it to say, no speed runs with the top up anymore.
Does anyone have any idea how much I picked up in HP with the RPM increase? I remember seeing a program that can calculate hp somewhere.
This week the Stealth replaces the CJ manifold, and then it's off to FC in a couple weeks untested. Should be cool.
