diggin - supporters wait with bated breath on your current excursion!! :stirpot: :salute:

bated breath: the condition of waiting for something to happen
excursion: deviation from a direct, definite, or proper course

Hummmm this could be interesting!

The great news is the Fool has two airboats so regardless of the dilemma he can keep the slide alive.

No pictures to show but progress being made. AFR installed, wiring complete, left header installed, right header getting second bung for the wide band O2 sensor, ECM will be here Friday. Just might hit the water this weekend!

If it kills me, this boat is riding out tomorrow. Re-install the seats and prop, set pitch and good to go! [emoji12]

Good luck. Did you bump the power up or stay at 550

The fact is that adding the 8.6" overdrive pulley along with tune and LS9 cam will put me around 675 hp. That's worth it in my book. Cheap hp right there.

I would love to have a crane truck to help with the lifting, You shouldn't have any trouble getting it back together. Don't forget to count the tools.

I like the side exhaust but can't see mufflers?

It has the small canister mufflers. Actually work really well.

So, first day on the water went well. Need more pitch for sure. Engine spins up real fast. Think the ECM is going to need more calibration. AFRs were a bit high, although the gauge was all over the place. I'll check the spark plugs and see how they look. If they look good, I'll re-calibrate the wide band and check again.

Turns out the AFR was correct; plugs show a real lean condition. We didn't have the fuel pressure gauge at the shop last week when we did the test run. Going to throw it on and make sure the engine wasn't starving for fuel. If I have good pressure, the ECM goes back. Hope they can turn it around in time for Labor Day.
