Verado performance parts?

**aquinosteven** · 08-09-2008, 09:55 AM

Im a big skater and optimax fan but i have a 07 whaler with twin 175s. i know this isnt really scream and fly material but this boat does do 60+. i was wondering if there were any performance parts or mods for these engines. maybe highering the boost of changing the supercharger pullys.

Smaller pulley???

I KNOW that during the development phaze, at least one clever technician made 400 hp from a Verado with more boost....

Not sure if the ECU would compensate for the additional boost though.

well one time on my boat we had 3 people (aprox 450lbs) 160 gallons of fuel and about a 2ft chop. we did 54mph at 5300rpm. so the top at at 6300 so it still had alot left in it

If you do that rpm @WOT then you are running a bit of tall propellers for your rig. Regardless of load you should make those engines run in between 5800-6400rpm at full throttle. Otherwise the engine gets "tired"..

yeah im not sure what props we are running. im not sure of the pitch. all i know is that they are three blade and counter rotating

Take a look at veradoclub.com If there is something that could be done someone on there will know. What he meant by a prop being tall is that it is high in pitch. You might have to come down in pitch to get your rpm's into the proper range.
