Hey Guys,
I was busting ass on my boat this weekend and it is running the best it has since I got it. turned out there was water in my tank. I poured out the fuel filter into a pepsi bottle, and I had about 4 inches of water, and 1/2 inch of fuel. I cleaned out the tank and I am emptying the fuel filter after every run for a while. I also put on some 8mm axcel plug wires and new plugs. my question is, in a little chop, I am turning 4500 rpm, at about 55 mph. the needles bounced to about 4800 / 60 mph . Should I be looking for more RPM? I am planning on continuing to add hings to increase the HP, and hopefully grow into this prop I bought From TED.( mirage plus 21). Any suggestions? IT has a 600 holley auto carb on it now, I am thinkingof changing to a 750 marine? I also have a eldebrock performer manifold to put on, any good?
Thnks for any advise,
James
