    Sweet lookin' ride. Boats always look faster than they are, especially jets. But they sure do look and sound cool.

    Was trying to locate reason behind excess crankcase pressure and low speed. Pulled plugs and found 2 of the electrodes consumed. Ran compression test and found same 2 cylinders were at about 30psi with the rest between 160-170psi. Both of those holes had the headgasket blown out into the lifter valleys. Guy changed the FP regulator on it and didn't put a gauge so I have to assume the pressure was way too low causing it to lean out and blow. Switching from the tunnel ram and dual 4's for a little simpler setup Dart intake with a Dominator 1050. Will find a dragster scoop and paint it probably the same color purple that is on the rest of the boat. Should be a runner when its back together hoping for around 500-550hp, and might go ahead and add a little 'mo just in case but that will be a ways down the road. My friend was pissed as hell at the guy I bought it from but really what are you gonna do? One of the joys of buying someone else's project/Hot Rod
