I think a small carb'd 49 with 150-160lbs of compression on a voodoo would be too fast for the 750 class, I would think that setup would run 60mph all day long and would dominate the class. On the lake, our delta with the OMC 45 cu was a 53 mph boat, on the race course it could run any where from 58 to just shy of 60's sometimes and the only reason it could hit the higher number on the race course was because of the rough water conditions separated the boat from the water, no matter what we did you could not come close to those number if the conditions were calm as the motor just didn't have the power to really break the boat loose like a t850 boat. The set up you are talking about would have the power and the speed regardless of the water conditions. Given that Ryley is also an experienced driver I think he would dominate the class. I could see the motor on a bigger heavier boat (checkmate, sidewinder) and then it would be competitive but not on a 13 ft boat. Just my thoughts.

DOC I hope your correct. It we have the T750 boat count there MAY NOT be any T850's running with the T750's. It will all depend on the number of T boats that show up to race and just as important the way TORC wants to run T class at that race. TORC may run heats of T850 or they may split the T groups and T750 will run with some T850 boats same as LC faced in 2011. I would like to be in the position were T750 guys can choose the T850 boats they want to race if some T850's are slotted in their group. IF only 4 T750's show and 14 T850's, then I will be difficult to get a separate T750 heat.
