Unless it comes with dual 409's I am putting my money on Reid as well.

I'm pretty sure this mod is how the excal 330 was bumped to 345 and the Zr6 was bumped from 375 to 390 last year on production boats.So...is it possible with the same factors involved Dave could be swapping the ECM out and showing 420+ hp. More than likely. Mike |

Mike, easily and a little more I would imagine.
But what if Dave brings a boat and is not refering to the ECU but a completely Black Prototype BOAT with some crazy motor in it? Unless Reid has Modified the Blue mustang he ran at GL two years ago, I'm going with the winning boat and it won't be blue. |

Reading all the comments here it's gonna be a hell of a drag race on Lake George...!
Man... I sure hope you guys get the whole thing on tape! Cause I wanna see that (and my guess is all the others on here that won't be able to attend too)! |

I believe it does have a O2 sensor so should be interesting.

Mike, I called PCM when the Excal 343 was first introduced, hoping perhaps mine could be modified to the new 343hp rating. No such luck, don't remember the exact reason but in the case of the Excalibur the mods were beyond programming, or so I was told. |

i'm sure they changed the injectors and metering/throttle plate as well as ECU changes. You could call and ask what the actuall part numbers where for each motor and compare but I'm betting there isn't a whole lot of changes but it is possible it was done with the cam only. |

I think youre right- I remember reading that the chance consisted of a reprogrammed ECU and a larger throttle body. I doubt that the upgrade would be cost effective for only 13 extra hp. |

And they continue to impress, I dont know anyone (except my camping neighbor the good Dr, but I didnt drop his name here) and I got a call from Sue today saying my custom one off prop was leaving today and that I should try it and let them know how it does, asked them if they wanted me to pay them for and Sue said not to worry about it at this point just let them know how it does... |

Joe that was not a slam on you , and in no way was to undermine your stroke with Eric.
If you took it that way my humble apology to you.I for one thought you could see thru those smoke and mirror diversions. My stroke with Sue is that she has memorized my Visa number, and I never get off as light as YOU.......A call to their # always cost's.............Boat dr |

Joe, I too feel the same way about Reic and Sue. They have always gone the "EXTRA" for me and my customers. But it seems that Acme gets all the BLING.Not to bash them but never have felt other than a number to them. Whereas OJ cares and will go the distance for customer satifaction..........Boat dr

Tim spends too much time on websites looking for advice, instead of actually knowing what to get at the parts store to make it go fast, we'll make it go faster change the rev limit...... well that just doesn't work on a boat or car once your past the power band, but oh well each their own free country here do what you want. |

Id rather spend too much time looking for advice to improve the boat I own, than to spend too much time spouting off on websites about the boat I used to own. ![]() |

Timmy, You seem to read between the lines real well too.Hope you have thick skin or have your fire suit close.
I am still waiting on the requested picture of Chris in his suit and tie. The mental pic of that was TOOOOO FUNNY. I also see his spelling has not gotten any better, is there a Rosetta Stone for spelling? <<<<<<<<<<<<<INCOMING>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> |
