Well there ya go OP, that's about as close a comparison we are gonna get I think. So this purported "longer thrust duration" after leaving the water isn't as prominent as we are led to believe it sounds to me. Thanks for the info

So you are saying that for you and your setup a setback stator gives you improved hook up?

^^^^I think that's a SF only thing there lol. Never had to strap stuff up. OP- What these dudes said and there are some longer threads full of info like fro diesel said, just do a search. Good luck and have fun

I guess where i'm at with a "set back" is back to back radar testing. How much longer (defined in time) is thrust provided, if any, after inlet leaves the water. Stuff like that. "Seat of the pants" could just be in your head after you spent all that dough and told yourself it was gonna be...

I read the OP's question as asking for the benefits of a billet "set back" versus a standard location stator. I'm not surprised by the lack of verifiable responses that have "hard" facts/numbers to show a difference or benefits of a "set back" versus standard. I'd like to see some hard numbers...

That's great and hope it works out for ya, but at the kink where the hand pole pivots you really decrease the available area for air flow. Twin tube poles may help but they are just not a replacement for a well designed hood/hood liner to provide adequate air for even a simple ported, piped...

My Twin Tube Pole Flows Plenty of Air

Nice piece. What do you end up with after cables and typical bend at pole bracket? Still probably less than a stock WB1?

IDK what became of the chamber, but the video is a few years old and the height achieved (albeit off a boat wake) is phenomenal. I don't doubt that the engine could survive short applications of nitrous and perform. I question how they avoided cavitation at the pump from so much power being...

Watch the PFP video with this Polaris/Lenzi+ nitrous

With a little training you sure are doing good work. Many that have a long term background in composites can't seem to do what you are accomplishing. Looks you have found your calling son.

I went to a few websites. Thrust, DASA and XMetal to view what they list/sell as "shortblocks". They seem to share a common parts list of what is included. Maybe us as members could adopt those standards as a "shortblock" definition and anything less or added could be noted. Idk, just a thought...

I'm not concerned so much with the inlets as I am with the outlets at the liner. That water comes in and will somehow make its way to your carbs. Just a suggestion mind you, but there is a reason so many of us run breather tubes down to the bilge area, as opposed to just openings in the liner...

??? How did you get that? I didn't suggest glassing the inlets, I'm talking about the outlets in the liner, I guess I should've said liner. I assumed you would've gathered that I was speaking of the liner when I continued with the addition of 3-4 breather tubes. Just a suggestion, but I believe...

Hope you're right. Plenty of people out there that have similar air inlets on their hoods and thought the same thing. Might want to take the time now and glass over the openings, then cut 3-4 hole and attach breather tubes that run to the bilge. Just a suggestion before its all built. Stoked for...

I read the title for the thread and thought, A-this will be about kool ways to tear up 1 of the 13 extra dishes on peoples homes, or B- how to steal sat tv. Well it wasn't. It is in fact about another kool, albeit a little high dollar, little rec toy. Then I saw the BS start, so I engaged the BS...

Plan on turfing the rails, or does that add too much weight? Decent build thread by the way. Lately page 6 is about when we have been seeing the hull and you're done, appreciate it.

Wow, that weight with a billet motor and fuel, wow!
