Of his 502ci BBChev, on the dyno... 1300HP at 6800rpm...



And its going into a boat...

Whoa that's a wicked photo! Any idea what turbo that is, or the rest of the spec of the engine?

1300bhp in a boat . . .

thats amazing,
any one for marshmellows?

Curious, as boats should have a water cooled exhuast...

Depends on the boat/engine/application whether the exhaust is water cooled. Many of the performance boats particularly in the southern states don't, they just run open headers going up and out the back as per pic.

Cool Pic.

Probably does have a water cooled exhaust system but you wouldn't cool it before the output side of the turbo, any heat taken out of the exhaust before the turbo isn't there to spin the turbo. Water cooled turbos only cool the bearings, the turbo housing is not cooled.
