First thing I will say is if you haven't rode one of Zach's engines, you don't know what your missing.
I'll start with the smaller one.
PHP753
-Specs: 62t/62t, pump gas, charging system w/MSD, PFP ran wet, OEM 44's on PHP intake, Vforce 3 reeds, ADA head, #zero flywheel.
I'm running this engine in a Hybrid layup FV1 with OEM 155 pump. First ride thoughts was nothing short of unbelievable. I almost regretted the purchase, I built the ski for the wife and this motor absolutely RIPS. I have owned JM781, XS865 w/bipes, and rode many other engines. (I'm not knocking any other builders here, just comparing). This setup is comparable to my 865 no doubt, makes the JM781 feel like a stock engine. Here comes the haters comments.... lol. It's ok if you don't believe me, I know it and your welcome to ask anyone that has rode this ski. @SpaceCowboy rode it when I first had it in a freak with 144 mag pump and made me pop the hood as he didn't believe that this little engine was so wicked. @Jyzmbe has rode it in both forms. I can flatwater flip this ski no problem. Will add video in next post.
PHP898
-Specs: Vp113, Total loss, PFP dry, Novi 48 LSI, PHP intake, VF3 reeds
I'm running this engine in a DVX with 155 Skat, previously ran in Aerial 8 with 155 kawi skat. This engine is awesome! There are several options from other manufactures for similar engines. XS900R and RR, TPE900, etc. I have rode the engine Daniel Martin won AM freestyle on with was one of the first XS 10mils, and the PHP hit just as hard. The powerband is a stronger on the bottom than the mid and top, but pipe setup makes a big difference. Daniel rode my ski with a wet pipe (previously his hull lol) and had no complaints. I ran mine wet at first then switched to dry which I found better for combos. I cant say anything bad about this engine, it will do anything I need it to! On top of being a great performer it cost way less than the competitors.
I can't discuss the engines without mentioning how awesome Zack's customer service it. If you notice he doesn't advertise his products much, as he doesn't need to. His customers are loyal to him as he is loyal to his customers. Zack is always available to help with setup questions, troubleshooting, and just making sure the customer is happy! I sent mine in for a rebuild and he turned it around 2 weeks later, not 6 months like some other companies.
Thanks @powerhouseperformance!
