We got ahold of a short block that had never been ran yet. We rebuilt our pump new reeds and rings.. New reeds in the engine, had the injectors done. In other words the more new and ordinal the faster. We have been working with our prop guy for over a year. We don't run the same props as the carb motors run. We have got some 5 blades that we haven't even raced yet. As it is they are trying to slow us down. The 1st thing they did was jacked our weight up 50 pounds. They have our motor right now. Seems you don't get reworded for the time and effort you put in. They can do what to the boat and engine. They can't take away his driving. So there is no big secrets. The engine is just doing what it was made to do.
