Actually I was thinking a load of weeds too, but this happened multiple times and he changed props. Bondo suggested leaving the trailer in the parking lot in the 2nd reply

Isn't the Alpha only good for 300hp? - Be careful with the holeshots.

Thanks guys. Maybe I should have unhooked the trailer before trying to plane out. Can't really believe it has 325 HP with the original 2 barrel on it. I did consider trying a third even larger prop because of the added HP. It isn't a fake thread and I am real. I have ne explination how it runs now verses last year.

All good, and you're right, the two barrel is not putting out 325. You replaced the long block I suspect. I have never understood how they can sell a _____ hp as a long block. I know why they do it, but there is no way for them to determine what the horsepower will be without a specific fuel system.
