NEWS FLASH, PINK’S AT LAKE GEORGE

so your going to flash the Prom in the computer for extra pony's nice? or just replacing the ECU all together with a re-mapped unit? You do get all the goodies don't you?

rev limiter, advance profile, fuel pressure, injector pulse width, sensor limits, lots of things to change and get power from, the rev limiter is the last thing to change if at all. Stick with the simple stuff your better off there than the fancy motors that require a computer to operate. Easy to get a 50 more pony's if you have the equipement and know how.

If you are going to run for a couple miles then you might need a few more R's for the top end but then you risk blowing it up too.

But if it only takes say 100 ft to get to your top speed and it takes every one else 300 ft to get to there top speed who wins in a quarter mile race? The one that doesn't have to change the rev limit because he's opened up a huge lead after 100 ft and extends that lead even more over the next 200 ft while your pig is still trying to get to max RPM to pass it which, it's not going to do very fast, if it's only a couple of MPH faster to start with, so really changing the rev limit is the last thing to worry about.

the boxes are all ready on the motor from the factory, I'm guessing that it is a tweeked version of the stock black box ECU/computer that controls all of the engine's functions, rpm, timing, idle air control, all sensors and so fourth and I doubt What Dave has will be availible for any engine but the CCF boat.

God..It's getting deep in here!

79nautique, I like the way you think and comments. Now if everyone esle would go back to school, they might have a chance BUT it will be to late..

Dave you have to be carefull it's hard telling what Reid has stashed in that barn of his maybe he's going to bring that skiff but then that's not right, CC's only right?

The limit on R's is directly perportional to the precision and degree of balance of the complete crank assembly. The closser to zero the higher RPM and last time I check most stock production motors are not balanced so pushing over 6K is risky especially with a fresh motor that is not completetly seated but lets crank up the Rev limit anyway. Don't think so Tim, does the future owner really deserve an abused motor over bragging rights? doesn't seem to bright to me.

Joe,Getting Eric to tool up for a 2 blade 19" and a 21" was the trick. Reid ain't the one with the stroke at Johnson Propeller.I have had a dealer number there for several years.
Once again it is who you know, that makes things happen.If you wonder why I push OJ and knock Acme this is the reason.Acme seems to to think that they are doing me a favor by selling me props of answering questions.
Eric and Sue have always jumped thru hoops for my customers,fast turn around on repairs and special orders they do with ease, the impossible takes a little longer....................Boat dr

I don't get why a supposed HOT PCM 409 needs a special aftermarket black box. Why don't they just dial it in right to begin with?

It is dialed in, engines tuned to absolute max performace probably wouldn't last very long.

Not unlike a car/truck, dialed in for everyday use would be based on maximum efficiency and dependability, performance not necessarily being the top of the list. Would liken it to re-programming the chip in your daily driver.

Wow I have been away from the site way to long.. You guys make me want to take the AWOL and be there for this wold event.

I wonder if that boat will preform as good as one of those Corvette boats that had the 383-callaway motor in it, and ran in the upper 60s, keep in mined Reids Classic is about his 3rd or 4th fastest boat he has in his stable, you better hope he dont pull his baby blue mustang up there or Marshlls boat!

Ok Doc, everyone know's you don't go to a party with out a present!!

That's all I can say for now, so dry off and jump back in your hole you dirty little rabbit.

9 day's left to sweet talk your way to Lake George .

I'm shock here, that no one has asked if the 409 comes with DUALS !!

Oh that's right you saw the video from Ken test driving it before the install.

Now is this statement true or not.
But it sure does make you think about it..

Man you is this guy.
