So-Cal jet boater gets new 600" bullet: 1,130 hp single carb

This was dyno'ed last week in So-cal:



600", Blue Thunder Thor II heads, single 1,600 carb, 15:1 comp., 29* timing. 9" vac w/ vac pump.

Peak power: 1,130 @ 7,200
Peak trq: 885 @ 6,000 ( 1,011 hp)

I know it has a custom Erson Roller cam other than that no cam specs, but I'm working on it. There are plans to retrun to the dyno this Winter with a custom sheet metal TR and dual 1,200's. That could be interesting.

The engine belongs to and parts sourced by DSC Motorsports ( Anza Ca) , engine built by fellow So-Cal boat guy Mike Miller. Mike has built more than a few killer BBC, this was his first "Killer" Ford. He was very happy with not only the parts but how they went together vs some of the Brand X stuff his done over the past few years.

When I get some more info I'll post it.

It's home is a California Performance 18' jet boat.

nice build .....i feel really bad for that 18' hull

Very nice!.

Nice Numbers .... But hasn't Lem and Charlie done that with A 460 heads, I think Phillips engine does that and more........

1,100+ with A-heads with a single 4 is maixmum over achiever. Like to see that.

I need to talk to Mike how built and dynoed it about the fuel and timing, I was told there was more there but its going to run at 7,000- 7,100 in the boat and they could have played with the fuel to get some more. I'll try to find out next week.

I want to know what those heads flow ? I'm waiting to hear back on an email.

if you want to know what those heads flow ask Charlie I think he Ported them , Matter fact I am pretty sure he did if the are Dennises heads...


Randy

Hey Jon, thanks for posting that. Who's headers are those? Nice numbers for sure.

Vern

Some may think the power is low, but without camshaft specs and etc, its hard to say. One of my friends has a C-headed single 4 barrel 598 that makes 1100hp on race gas, and 1130hp on Q-16. It does have a dry sump and etc.

Hi Vern,

I'm not sure who made the headers, was told "retail" is $ 2,000. I'll see who made them.

I think Dennis is going to need a bigger boat (18')

Talk about "pulling like a freight train" that thing is will set you back in the seat. That boat is going to need some serious set-up work from where it was.

Do you happen to know about what Dennis's boat weighs? If it's as light as mine, that is going to be a handfull.

If I remember it's a bit over 500 lbs. And I was told those headers are quite a bit more than $ 2,000 quite a bit more.

Stick the engine in a V-drive and lets see what really happens!
