My $30 stock size stainless Y fitting and some bonus pics

Here is pics of the stock sized stainless Y fitting for the fuel pumps. I thought it was kind of expensive for such a simple small fitting but i guess when you have a monopoly on the market you can charge anything!!! Call up Mark from LFP and they shipped it out ASAP. Below are some links to pics i took at the NYC poker run this weekend. I am in the silver nordic in the 1st 3 pics

Not bad 2 big blocks twice blown, in the boat world this seems to be a popular option as I've seen it done a bunch of times, Heres a question why two blowers per, I mean how much sustained boost are you going to run, maybe thats the awnser, low boost per, say 5lbs each giving you 10 total per motor, cool regardless.

Not only for PSI but also volume. The "1075" number on the cover is the H/P rating for each motor. Awesome power but very spendy and frequent rebuilds. Also must run race gas. Typical poker run boat like that is going to hold about 300 gallons of fuel. Not sure what the price of 110 oct is these days but you can bet it costs about $2500 per fill up. A busy weekend can mean about 3 tanks of fun. I had a 33ft Donzi with twin 600hp 502's. Much smaller boat and way less power. First summer using the boat I burnt 4000 gallons of fuel. Ouch!

I believe this is who runs them
http://www.nationalpowerboat.com/poker.html

cost us about $980 in gas for the day plus $1200 in entrance fees, extra hand, DVD.
$2000+ it was fun as schittt but I do not think it was worth it. basically just drove like a mad man with 100 other mad men. You can do that for free. there was a bunch of boats racing up the hudson that were not even in it. The only thing you got for $2000 is bragging rights for getting back quick.
