PORFORMANCE QUESTION

[shallowminded]

I HAVE A ZZ4 WITH SOME WORK DONE TO IT AND WE'RE GUESSING ABOUT 420 HORSE WITH A 2.3 TO 1 CH-3 AND A 3 BLADE POWER-SHIFT POWER PLUS 78 INCH I HAVE IT PITCHED TO TURN 5000 WOT BUT IT DOESN'T HAVE THAT GOOD OF A HOLE SHOT I SEE A LOT OF PEOPLE WITH THE SIMILAR SETUP THAT JUST LEAVE THE HOLE LIKE A ROCKET SHOULD I TAKE SOME PITCH OUT TO GET A BETTER HOLE SHOT OR ARE THERE ANY OTHER OPTIONS?

I had a ZZ 4 in my Diamondback and did a few mods to it that WaterThunder told me to do and the boat did not run that great untill I turned it up to 5600 rpm then it ran like a Bandit never had any problems with the engine either I now have a WaterThunder LS 2 on the boat but what I had is what you have now those small blocks seem to like a little RPM to make them work good

THANKS FOR THE INFO ILL GIVE IT A TRY I WAS JUST WORRIED ABOUT THE WEAR AND TEAR OF 5600

had 160 hrs on it when I changed motors and it was running strong when I took it off

you may get hole shot out of it but your fuel economy is going to go shizzle.

SO THERE IS A DOWN SIDE TO IT THAT WAS ANOTHER WORRY I HAD GIVEN TH COST OF FUEL
