Which 454 ?? 1998 with a carburetor ??
If it`s a 310 hp I`d stay away from any power adders.

I am running huffers and they are turn key and push me over 100mph in my Dominator. Just gotta set them up right from the word go.

I'm at about 700HP per motor and the only problem I have is she runs a little fat so new plugs are in order every other season. But I would rather have it run a little fat then too lean and pop a motor.
Granted I am only at 56 hours since the motors were built back in the fall of 2005.
Sounds like I have been on your boat for 10-20% of its total hours from '05-'07. You aren't using it enough Scott!!! :laugher: Actually that is quite a few hours per season.dominator scott said:I'm at about 700HP per motor and the only problem I have is she runs a little fat so new plugs are in order every other season.

My 383 destroyed its stock harmonic balancer at the end of last season which wasn't discovered until this season. It is now replaced with a Romac and I can now start using my boat again. I have even less hours on my boat over the 06 & 07 seasons than you do as the Cobra drive was being replaced by the Bravo. I hope to put 30-50 hours on my motor this summer.
My wife was on doms boat for a short ride.

Yeah, but those are probably the best 56 hours of your life.dominator scott said:

I know that my hours on his boat were great. You can't beat a 60+ mph CRUISE over 3 footers and then some amazing 95+ mph BLASTS. It is fun to watch other boat try to keep up.Hot'n'Bothered said:Yeah, but those are probably the best 56 hours of your life.
I agree 100% with CJ, the only way to get them perfect is on a dyno and a water test. I had a 700hp blower motor and it was loads of fun but........I go boating to relax and all I did was watch the gauges, never really enjoyed it. Even on a reliable blower motor theres no room for error. an injector goes bad or just gets plugged youre screwed, water in the gas youre screwed, a little voltage spike and your fuel pump skips a beat...youre screwed, not to mention drive issues. I had pyrometers in my and they used to scare the crap out of me every time I opened the thing up, even though the plugs always looked good when you see the egt's rising around 1350-1375 it would make me CRINGE!

that "CRINGE" feeling is what keeps our engines together if you ask me. Means we are aware of how hard things are working back there.
Once I get mine dieled in perfect, I won't worriy about the engine as much as the drive. And that worry will intern help the engine, cause I won't 'beat' on it.
