Best way to pick up 2 mph on a rxpx 300

[WBoulton]

So my 2017 rxpx currently has a catch can, water strainer, jp racing tune, fizzle intercooler, and a cold air intake. The ski will run 76 mph on the speedo with a full tank of fuel. My buddy has a 2018 rxtx 300 with pretty much the same mods running about 78 on the speedo. Every time we race he slowly creeps past me on the top end, then I have to hear shit talking for 3 hours after. Time to end that, don't need to smoke him, just even it up really. I was gonna do the er135 wheel and the supporting mods, but I heard the fuel mileage goes down the tube. I'm also trying to keep it reliable as my girl and I do long rides. Was thinking maybe the exhaust manifold spacer, valve spring retainers, and repitch the prop or buy a solas. Not trying to get to crazy like my old ski, it looks to be heading that way.

Unfortunately, you are startiing at a top speed disadvantage. The ST3 hull has less hull in the water and will always outrun a T3 hull with the same HP. Maybe you could set up some buoys and beat him on a closed course.

Im aware of that hull being faster, I'm looking to close that gap by moding my ski more. I'd also like to be able to hit 80+ mph like my old ski. My old ski was faster than both of our current skis, but it sucked in the chop.

easiest way to gain 2mph......lose 50lbs.....prop accordingly.

My px will run 77 dash with just a scom. If your looking for a small edge you could fill the ride plate bolts holes. There's TONS of threads about how to do it.

with a full tank of gas??? Mine will run 80mph on the speedo with low fuel.

No, not a full tank, I guess you could say “half tank” since there’s 5 gallons left when the gas light comes on.

try the 13/18 3 blade, should get you about 1.5 mph and 200 rpm. Plus make it accelerate better. Don’t waste money on spacer, retainers are never a bad thing...but you shouldn’t need them at your mod level. Run the intake out one of the side vents for fresh air.
