See fuel injected 502. I'm starting to like where this is going. Who ever said carb is better then TBI needs his head inspected.
Let's pull the hemi out of your durango and stick it in there. Man that would be cool.

I think the consensus was a carb would be easier to tune in the long run. And a newer HEMI boat engine would be awesome. I wish VP would explore that idea. You could cover all the power options available now (300, 350, 380) with the 5.7, and get 430 easily with either a 6.4 or a 6.2. Then they could really unleash a beast with a Hellcat version!
So anyway, does anyone know if my old, AQ outdrive would boot up to a 502?

How's she running? You get those jets turned around yet?

We did and ran it yesterday. It’s a lot better than it was. We still think it can be better, but I think we will have to finish up next Spring. It was pretty flat with the 56’s in the front, and it had a big hesitation when I went from half throttle to WOT. We changed the primary to a 64 and it was way better, but then we ran out of fuel. I put 15 gallons in it for two test sessions. My gauge doesn’t work all the time so I didn’t know it was that low. I got my upper body exercises in rowing a 252 to a fishing dock though!

That doesn't look gently or down stream.

I don't think a fuel injected 502 or 496 uses that much gas. Lol
I guess you need smaller jets.

That's perfect speed for fishing! Tell us the real story. You were really fishing out of her? That's your new trolling motor!

I would have given one of about any body part I have two of to have had a trolling motor.

Yes yes. That’s how you test it! Light load for max speed. I’m sure Reggie Fountain was towed in a few.
Holley jets use the same drill hole for every 3 sizes. Just the entry chamfer is different. So to cover that lean bog go up 3 sizes and try again.
This time with a bit more fuel.. or a spotter !
Your on the right track. Nice paddle!

Or bring a extra paddle for your camera person. Just premix some stable in the next gallon.

Does Cobalt offer oar-locks as an option?
