what hp does the black death 5500 make and waht is the most hp you can get out af a 35 briggs

They can turn close to 70 hp... For a short time.

That 5500 prolly puts out around 55 hp if i had to guess, they put the 00 on it to try and sound cooler

I would like to see sumone dyno these modded motors........ I would think most of them would be alot less than what people think they are. I do remember EVT dyno'ed a few of der's but I don't remember what mods were done to it.

I have a 5500 and if I had to guess, I'd say it should have between 40-42hp. The 45 mag which is the next step up from the 5500 puts out a true 45hp and it has all modded internals which the 5500 doesn't have. Regardless, the 5500 offers a huge improvement in performance vs a stock 35hp.

I bet the 7000 doesn't have over 50 hp.

7500??????? When did that model come out? the 7000 puts out in the 60's.

Keith's motor is basically a 7000 with a few tweeks here & there. Casey's motor has some of the same tweeks, but no all of them. I don't remember if he ever dyno'd his or not, but Keith's is putting out close to 70 if I'm not mistaken. As I'm sure you know, it takes more than just the power plant to produce the speeds & performance he's gettin. You have to remember, prop pitch, gears, & boat play a big role as well. If Casey put his on the right setup, I'm sure he could be doin alot better than he is.


Keith, if I'm wrong about your #'s, please correct me so the right info is there.

Yeah your wrong

Then put up the right info.

Heck i got that horsepower in my push mower, port and plished with a GTR belt spinning the blade, uh huh

Are you typing drunk again? I thought we told ya about that already.

and it comes with instant self propel! Oh its a Briggs too 7.0

4500 BD is ''44hp'' quoted from one of the boys at mud buddy so maybe call them find out for sure 801-352-1458 I would thinnk its gotta be around 55hp somewhere

I haven't run mine on a dyno but if the 45 Mag has all the internals modded and puts out a true 45hp do you really think that putting on the iron mountain heads, roller rockers, and carbs on a stock 35hp will bring it up to 44hp? Without a doubt my 5500 has a lot more power than a stock 35 but how much more, I don't know.

Micah at MB told me on the 7000 there is just over 68hp dyno'd. but of course his is just a few more.

Factory push rods are $8 per pair.......I'll buy dat anyday over buyin a new block.

As long as your valves are shimmed, your not gonna bend a push rod until your well over the 5000 rpm mark!

Here a 5500 BlackDeath I just put High Performance Cam, Rods, and Pistons in
Idle is set a little high in this video. But this thing runs pretty good.

40 top gear 45 bottom gear and adding pitch to the prop. The boat is a 1854 excel F4 .125 hull 12gal. tank trolling motor 2 batteries, winch, twin led lights, skid-liner inside and out. Its one heavy MOFO so this guy just wanted more bottom end and better load caring capabilities so thats what i did for him. It runs 33-34 with me (175) my dog (65) and 12 gal of fuel with the current or against it same speed. Hits 35 in the shallows. With the above weight and two more people over and around 200 each holds 31. This is all with a stock un-touched Tiger Big Blade.

Thanks for giving out the recipe like that, those are some awesome speeds your getting in that rig. The most I've gotten with my 5500 and GT1750 is 31-32 by myself and it goes down from there the more weight I add.

I was a bit skeptical about modding my engine further since the rev limit on these are so low but being able to do 30+ with 2-3 people in the boat is very tempting. Did the bottom end improve from the way it came from the factory? That's really my only complaint with the 5500 is that it doesn't get going right a way like a stocker does.
