I'd really love to do a big inch twin turbo LSx in my TX-19. Right now though I'm at roughly 1000hp on the bottle, and I'd have to step up to a tunnel to go much faster and be safer. 115-120mph is about all a TX-19 is capable of handling "safely".

I deleted egr, evap purge, all of the O2 sensors, all of the auto transmission wires, oil level sensor, air conditioning, MAF (but re-wired in an IAT), oil pressure sensor. It really is a bare bones harness now. Also, I used the stock alternator with an fbody crank pulley and a BMR alternator mount.

I think they would hold up fine, as long as the whole weight of the turbo and plumbing is not hanging off of them. That's what I plan to do if I go turbo with mine.

POS. I can't imagine why anyone would put an LSx into a jet boat. Don't you know these things need BIG BLOCK TORQUE? At least that's what I was told when I did my conversion...
Seriously, though - are you running 1 fuel tank or two?

Anyway, I'm wanting to go back to EFI - but I wasn't sure how to do the fuel system with twin tanks. I'm wondering if I can just Y for the feed and return; or if that's a no-no. The feed and return remote selector is like ~$550.
On a side note - did you modify your own harness; or just buy one? Also, did you keep the factory water temp and oil pressure senders; or is that info the computer doesn't need?

Yep, I heard it too. Then saw them eat crow with the baby 5.7 LS1 - now with the 383 I hear nothing but crickets.

Lol. My buddy has a 535 inch BBC in his jet. That motor makes that potato chip fly.
