Build for mid range torque, not high end RPM. Boats need torque. Is this engine going in a jetboat or eggbeater? I've seen many car guys get into our sport and have these great claims of having a killer engine that they will be putting in their boats, only to be very dissapointed with it's performance.

Small blocks are what I run. We shoot for a RPM of 5500. In these Eagle hulls they work great. We get 98 MPH out of 565 HP. Torque is over 500 ft/lbs from 3200 rpm through to 5100 rpm. This is my 434ci small block powered race boat.
