127 wheel info

[r1goombah]

got a 15 gtx 215, have the 4 inch kanaflex, catch can, thru hull with water box, 14/19 and a 8350 tune, running 71/72 mph at 8180rpms, guess my next mod is gonna be an external intercooler and a 127 wheel, so the question is do i need to install a rising rate fuel pressure regulator, and will the new 127 wheel be noticeable on low end mid or top end,

Yes, you will need to install this rising rate fuel pressure regulator

Also, I would upgrade to the Solas 15/19R impeller. You will need it to handle the extra power. That ET127 drop in makes a great deal of power. You will notice improvements from bottom to top.

ok, i plan on sending it out to you for the swap, i only have 60 hours on the ski, do i need to do a overhaul to it since its a "maintenance" free unit or should the wheel be good enough? and could i just send out the prop to get repitched?

You will be fine with just switching the wheel out.
The 14/19 is a completely different casting than the 15/19. You can pitch the 14/19 up, but the performance will not be as good as using a true 15/19 casting.

The 15/19 casting will be 1 mph faster than the 14/19 at the same RPM. Acceleration will also be better with the 15/19
