    450R on bullet?

    Has anyone ran a 450R on a bullet? i'm seriously debating pulling off my 300R to put a 450.

    If you are that serious about speed just put a 450 on an Allison.

    I’d wait until the 600R comes out.

    Yes.

    I have owned two of each brand and the A boats were faster than the B boats.

    The Bullet would be faster on top end with the 450R due to hull design. There was a 21XRS with a 450R in Florida that supposedly ran a decent triple digit number, but that motor was quickly removed.

    450 is 167 pounds more. Would need to have all lithium s and move a lot forward.

    I believe I'd call Tim Powell about a 450. He's been running one on a xb for a while now. A friend of mine who owns and drives a Allison xb21 thought my 21 sst may have been a little faster then his xb. But he may have been being nice. I own a 21 XB now and I'm not sure which was faster. They are definitely different boats. All I know is I'd love to drive either with a 450.

    450R is a ton of weight, its not a simple bolt on and run an instant big number. It will change a lot of the characteristics you are use to seeing. I dont recommend it.

    Is mine fast? Yes, but it took a ton of work to get it there.
