DA BULL can you remember any of there names? i can always use help with setting up the hst
sweet ride you have wile, how much set back are you running? im thinking about trying 10
thanks, i tinkered around alot and the set up im running works good for drag racing, im running ten inches of setback, and a cle gearcase 5/8 inch below the pad, im sure i could get more top end out of it, but this set up gives me the best of both worlds, with the limited hp im runnin it seems to work well.Quote:

wile what kind of prop are u running? im going to start out with the 14.5 26pitch big ear chopper i run on my vector. what kind of top end do you think i will get with the 26 chopper, or should i try a different prop? putting the 2.4 merc 150 carb motor on it thats on my vector right now.(its stock for now).
Venus,
I think that's a good prop. I heard also that mazco re4 and SRX do their job very well.
All you need is a chopper with lots of bowlift. Setback is trying because maybe yours is lighter or heavier but 10 would be a good start. Engine height is also testing what you boat likes the most.
Good luck
lwp and nosecone could only help, and some sort of conned case and lwp is really a must....go with what ya got....Quote:

this is what I'm running on mine now14.5 29p at about 6100 rpms I think I so far got the boat to 91.5 mph and it still had more but had to slow down cause I was loosing water pressure. I need low water pickups if I want to go any faster.
captainsteve how much setback are you running?
I'll let you know, I have the whole boat apart, but I think its 6" . With that heavy motor it runs good like it is. The 4 blade gives me good bite out of the hole and its also good on the top end. My 28 big ear chopper just turned the motor against the rev limiter and wasnt so great out of the hole esprcially with weight in the boat. I also had a custom 33 gallon fuel tank built for it so it ads alot of weight to the back.
Venus, You have a pm.

got it thanks DB
How the hell you fit a 33 gallon gas tank back there.And how the hell do you afford to fill it???:confused:
