We had the Barry Carn Memorial ski races in town last weekend.
Namesd after the skier who defied gravity & hit the bottom of the lake drowning in the mud the first year.
Each year boats from Vic & NSW meet halfway & ski race on the lake some of these things have twin turbo Big Block Chevies in em & are good for 100mph +
Skiers must be a bit
cop the whip in the ski rope of the first & last guy !!!

Now those 454's are all about 470 / 500cu in & most of em run twin turbos, but the blowers sound better......
One of my mates is an EFI guru & they put an EFI system on a 480cu in Rodeck/Chev about 10 yrs ago, with twin turbos it had 16 injectors !! , was a bridge to bridge boat , I only saw the motor, but I saw the Dyno needle pegged @ 1100hp !!!

Thnnx Ibbsy they were doing approx 60mph then accelerating up the front& back of the lake to 100mph+ especially the inboards the two pictured here could really accelerate.
Click on the pics & blow em up & check out the whip in the tow rope on the first & last pics !!
