yeah thats the one i was talking about. I know this video was done a few years ago and he sold the prop after that but I remember seing him buy another 30 cleaver at the begining of the summer so I like to know if he was able to run 95 again.

I think theres quite a difference between a regular 200 and a BP. but I'm not saying a 200 cant perform as well as a BP with the right mods. Dean had a 200 with a bp intake, heads..etc on his stv charger and he ran about the same speed I' running..

a BP on a valero is a weapon!

I'm not nessecarily trying to compare my motor to a bp, I know there's a difference in power. I'm running a small prop to hig rpms, and it's surviving. I likely wouldn't be able to turn a 30 pitch that high though. I threw a 28 on, but my lower unit decided it didn't like it before I was able to try any speed runs.

I built Bill Keegan a 200 a few years back, they had it on a big black (stealth cougar) on Rice lake, The louks I think I have it now, They ended up running a 32 ET to at least 6500 jacked to the moon, mild porting no chest cut, 7 petal front end with boyesen's and balanced, I don't think I even CC'd the heads on it, just took .025 off to clean em up mounted on a stock mid with a stock lower 1.87 with a bob's 88 MPH was the last speed I heard with Jesse drivin it.

Max your BP has thin gaskets in it if I recall.
