Re: I NEED PERFORMANCE FOR MY 3.0

i dont think there is anything to get more hp out of 3.0 ....tunep and maybe some performace plugs and wires is about it .....there is no space to add a supercharger you would have to make a your own custom system and pretty much redesign the engine completly ....<br />No such thing as NOS on a boat ..unless your racing but still i do see how it would work <br />Maybe to get you on plane 10X faster ...<br />Even if you make something custom it wont be worth the time and money...just get a bigger motor<br /><br />Dom

Re: I NEED PERFORMANCE FOR MY 3.0

what doman says.<br /> I have seen NOS on drives and the standard alpha drive has a tendancy to grenade when you shock it with another 100 ponies. the alpha drive (IMO) is marginal beyond 220 horses.any more and go with a bravo or volvo.<br /> good luck and keep posting

Re: I NEED PERFORMANCE FOR MY 3.0

What are you trying to accomplish with the extra HP. More top end, better Hole shot, etc?

Re: I NEED PERFORMANCE FOR MY 3.0

How fast is the boat now? What are you using for a prop? Do you have any additional planing devices, such as Trim Tabs, Hydrofoils ETC?<br /><br />What RPMs do you turn at WOT?

if you want a power upgrade, it's called a 4.3L V-6 :D

Re: I NEED PERFORMANCE FOR MY 3.0

with the 3.0 you can eather get a great hole shot with a small prop like a 15*17 or go for top end with a 14*19 the motor just doesent have the power to come on plane quickely with a prop that gives good top speed<br /><br />on my 3.0 a 15*17 planes in about 3 seconds but only hits about 30 mph at 4800 a 14*19 will give me 40 mph but will not come on plane fast unless i am on the boat by my self<br /><br />tommays

Re: I NEED PERFORMANCE FOR MY 3.0

No see this is retarted im 15 i dont wat a 6 ok i want the mpg i want to when i beat someone have seatowed in because they have fallen unconcious after realizing they have been beaten by a 4 cyl. I know for a fact that i can put on a different carb or something id just like to know if other people have done bigger cards and what to recomend. The boat does 100mph standing still and i dont want to touch that i just want to let my 4cyl catch up a lil. I dont have tabs but i do have i/o trim extender wings and i raise and lower the i/o to get perfect plane. At WOT im getting 50mph on a good day with just me

Re: I NEED PERFORMANCE FOR MY 3.0

fact is there is no other carb for 4cyl...<br />I think this has been discussed many times before there is nothing to wake up a 3.0 <br />Strip the boat to the bare hull you will get more mph ....if its already doing 50 i think its excellent<br /><br /><br />Dom

vipery,<br /><br />That engine is already at its stressed end. There are no bolt go fast parts for it. For what you would have to pay for a water cooled turbo, you could install a V-6.<br /><br />Sorry, but it's a price leader without much hope for hopping it up.

Re: I NEED PERFORMANCE FOR MY 3.0

There is no turbo kit ..even if there was one it didnt work thats why it was for sale ...if you wanna spend 5k+ i would say go to some auto performace shop and maybe somone will actually make something for you but its gonna cost at least the price of a new v-8...<br /><br /><br />Dom
