Hahaha! We've got a couple going 4.30's here. Kevin Fiscus is running a proline built petty tuned 700+ ci ford motor. Just set an 1/8th mile record with it I think. He's from orange park fl.

You say that Rodney, but all those big drag radial cars are ford powered ;)

Just let me know Jeremy. Thanks, Zach

Would 50% be a minimum or could I get away with 40%? This is mainly a play boat that may see an occasional heat race. As you said, 90 motors EAT UP fuel so my race boats will most likely be of the smaller variety.

You know what I see right now? I see what's needed happening. It has to e discussed to ever come up with a solution. My first boat was a rigger with a wore out k&b that wouldn't run for nothing. We're not all like me though. I wanted that darn thing to run and I finally got it too. Do I thing a...

You know why they do that right Rodney? Gm never built a fast car. Only decent motors ;)

I'm anti cross breeding but I will say that those ls based motors are beast! Hate to see em do that to a perfectly good coupe!

How long is the top pipe?

Thanks Pete. Kinda hoping they will chime in.

Rodney, that pass we left at 18lbs at 5500 on the trans brake. Probably could have gone a little quicker but I was running low tire pressure. Max boost in that pass was 24 psi. Realistically we probably could have gone 9's on the old set up as it was capable of 40 psi. It's would have been a...

Very nice Steve. It probably has the new ls1 5.3 in it. Those things make stupid power really easy. Been thinking about putting one in my 65 pick up

Thanks for the input guys. Was just thinking about another class to run. I have a few riggers as it is now. Might just end up being a fun boat. The hull itself is in phenomenal shape. Just needs to be cleaned up and painted.

You've only touched the tip of the iceberg. My first boat was an OLD roadrunner 21 with a k&b 45 in it. It was neat. Bought a new 21 engine for it and ran it for a little while longer. Then bough a firefighter .12, then a eagle sg. Then I wanted a 90 rigger. Then a sport 40 and so on and so on...

On the topic of instant gratification, FE boats is a great revolution in our sport. It's easy to get into and not terribly costly and they haul buggy!

Glad to hear that Tim! Hopefully we see that kind of growth all over

I definitely agree with Al on the family aspect, my view is a little different. The interaction has to start at home though. I think, many families don't interact at the boat pond because they don't interact at home. That doesn't negate the fact that manners at the pond could be improved. I have...

Whatever happens, I hate to see the sport degrade any more.

I agree Foley

I have to say I have seen much of the above on other forums. I could also see the newcomer getting discouraged. It is expensive/laborious to go fast. That's with any sport really. If you don't have the knowledge, there is always cubic dollars lol. Gas has never really interested me. Seems too...

Oh yeah. Fishing too
