I don’t believe it’s hitting a limiter

I’m not sure how the 5.0 ran. I bought the boat with a cracked block, I usually trim up a little below quarter up any thing higher then that it comes out of the water. I played around with trim. Rpms didn’t change really speed maybe changed from 40 to 45.

Ran the boat wot 45 mph 4,850-4,900 rpm

If I remember right I believe I’m right at 5k rpms or a little below and at 45-48 mph. Wot

Ok I’ll get it on the water this afternoon and get some readings. Thanks

I have a 01 regal 2100 LSR. I just motor swapped it from a 5.0 to a vortec 5.7 97 gm engine. Bored .30 over new summit heads etc. It had the Alpha 1 drive.

I removed gray wire from tac as well

I’m not getting spark when grounding green and white wire going to buy another coil then will update

Sorry that’s what I meant, when I have my meter on the coil pos and toggle the switch it goes from O.l to power. I am going to check the gray wire on the tach I believe it is supposed to be grounded and I read somewhere that you have to ground a purple and white white when you time these systems...
