Skydog on here has a 27 Ft Daytona, single blown power running in the high 120's, low 130's, maybe he will chime in.

I'd take an educated guess that it will run 105-110. A buddy of mine with a Nordic 27 Thor put a Whipple kit on his 525 and went from 92 to 111 - so a gain of about 20mph. I have another friend with a 27 Daytona with a stock 525 that runs over 90, but his boat is extremely dialed-in, with a standoff box, shorty lower and labbed 32 - so a Whipple on his 27 Daytona would run 110+.

What year is the boat? The new bottom was in 2004 that is HUGE factor. Is it a XR drive? What lower does it have? What pitch prop and rpm does it spin? With that all being said (IF) it is a 04 or newer. And (IF) it is making 800 HP
108-112MPH
