Default EFI 383 LS1 powered Liberator jet boat - IT LIVES!

So...some of you may remember that this boat has been powered by a 383 LS1 for a while...but after several months of hard work and late nights my EFI conversion is finally done. Got the PatG tune on it and after finding a burned plug wire it runs great. With no O2's there still a little bit of fine tuning needed after logging, but it's coming along nicely. So far 5400 rpm and 78 mph with a passenger. Also added mufflers and lots of other little odds and ends that it needed.

Engine specs:
383 LS1
11:1 compression
238/244 @ .050; .600/.600; 113 LSA Bullet cam
MTI Stage 3 ported heads
Ported Fast 90/90


Hadn't found the burned plug wire in the vids below - so max rpm was only 4800 rpm.

Nice. I used to have a 21 eliminator daytona, funnest boat I've ever driven. The LS would have made it that much better.
