All boats should sound like this!

this is the truck i was thinking of, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GNxZ3hL6PtM its the second truck running

 

Oh yeah. Same guy owned a number of other pullers and monster trucks/tanks all under the Orange Blossom name.

 

I know guys that love the lope. We used to go back and forth between that and a more krackly idle, depending on the mood. I like it in the boat. Cool sound for cruising cocktail cove. That lope could make it hard to back up a dragster with a lot of caster angle though.

 

Actually its staging the car, you have to be able to precisely move the car in a 6" box. Everytime it surges it wants to move a lot further than 6". Not to mention its harder on the crank snout, blower belt, front bearings etc.

 

Thats a form of music i tell ya !

 

HOLY SHIT! THAT WAS SWEEEEET!
Made my day!

THIS is music, and what a blower motor should sound like.</EMBED></EMBED></EMBED>

 

Yes, that IS music! Had to listen to it twice...

 

adding a drag boat to my list...oh wait, its already there..hahahahaha

 

A couple things come to mind about this thread:

1) Why do people build traditional hot rods?

and 2) Why do people cruise the fairgrounds with the blown pro-street cars and surge the gas pedal on purpose?

 

See if this works

 

Sure does, twice even! That my friends is what its all about!!!

 

that is one sweet sounding f.e.d!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

awesome!

 

That F.E.D. is bad ass but I don't know if I would have the ball to straddle it while spinning it over!haha

 

This is how they sound when they run in the 6's.

They should sound like this Quincy outboard!

 

I like the surge sound.Got a Hondo Flatbottom I am building. Blown BBC. I want the surge Awesome sound. My blown BBC model, just a liitle surge

 

That looks like a Hondo sprint. Are you running off the snout circle boat style?
I used to race a Hondo HX511T runnerbottom back when I wanted to be a hero. lol

 

Yep, 76 Hondo sprint, t deck, gonna set it up circle boat style ,
Got any picks of your old Hondo. The number sounds familiar.
The motor is just sitting in there with some homemade plates.Motor will sit up a tad higher. Here is what I satarted with. Was called Grounds for Divorce

 

ah ha, I remember when that boat was for sale. Who could forget that steering wheel. lol

You should get some photos of the K69 "Freedom" hondo sprint. Even had the same wing.
The HK511T is was the model of the boat. The # on the side was 013. It's still around, just a new ass in the seat. The injun is sitting in my garage waiting for a new project. It surged a little.

 

One very nice Hondo , you got any more picks?P.M. me if so the picks.
You on Performance boats or Hotboat when it was something?
Here is the link to my boat project.

Sounds GREAT! Being in SoCal, it's weird to see a blown Sanger and snow in the same picture

 

That sound of that hemi video scared my dog out of the room and gave me a woody. Or was it the woody that scared the dog out?

 

dammit i just about choked on an icecube!
