class 6 ?

[Ratickle]

We are still gathering pieces but putting together an old Mach1, WIth some deck modifications, Should be cool. When its done. of course, I'm not suggesting an old Mach1 is cool, but it can be. Its a extra boat laying around here, so the price is right. The lack of a 502 block may have us going the route of a stroked 454. Its still coming together so we want to build within the rules. ( still looking for a 502 block to build )

I bought my last one off of Craig's list. New gen 6, $950.

Just search All Craigs Lists and see what's out there.

Hey guys,
Being this will be my first go with OPA I am not trying to make waves...when I used the term "Smitty Built" it reffered to he originally built it, not that theres any crazy black magic or anything devious about it, it was already in the boat so we left it ! (HP ???) Didnt care till now but will find out and post the dyno sheet. (transparency...learned that from Obama HA HA HA). Didnt mean to stir s*#t !
Our only intention this season is to have an awesome time and race as much as possible, and from what Ive been told OPA is the place to be...Mike
P.S. still not sure if its 5 or 6 yet.

I really would like to nail down these horsepower limits also. We're trying to build our engine now but dont want to over due it if its gonna put us in another class or penalize us in anyway. If there are twins in class with 500 efi's just say, can I build a single engine with 750hp to run side by side? Just asking because Im not sure. Not being a smart ass!

Thanks!
John

Class 6 is single engine and currently only class with any HP restriction. I would recommend you contact Smitty to get the lowdown.

Anyone who watched us race with Boomer and Anthony know we were deck to deck the entire season..

[Fast Shafts]

I had a great view of both these boats all season long, unfortunately I was right behind them.Can't wait for this year to be running alongside-or ahead of them!

Akula has a blower Not sure was else.

I also know that Tyler & George's old red boat is coming back with a pretty good big block. If there really is a 500hp limit someone should let Gary Cook know

Has Ben has a 454 with a worn out blower that does not even produce any boost we built that engine 2001. It should have been rebuilt 3 years ago what's keeping it together it must be his driving and throttling. He said after he wins a few races this year he will give me his prize money to freshen the engine.

Hi Sharkey I have been real busy in the shop getting engines done. I won't be going to the awards on the 20th.

I will tell Gary about the 500hp and ask him to call Smitty

He has two motors built, one made just over 520hp and the other made over 6????

[Bilgerat]

520 Should be fine, what is it?
