32 mph at 4000 RPM burning about 12 gallons an hour
54 mph at 6450 RPM burning close to 40 gallons an hour

I did not see a huge improvement from the 300 zuke to the 350 V-Rod...
2mph at cruise and 5 mph top end.


The next engine will for sure be the 300 Mercury V8 at 528 lbs that has to make a difference... my 350 weights right in at 670 lbs.

If u need anything else feel free to PM me..
