Today we backed up our previous runs, retarded the cam 4 degrees and popped on a set of e-tops on the motor. We made 556HP @ 5200rpms on the stock Merc ECM with no reprogramming at all. Whew! This combo is awesome! The e-tops were an old set of CMI's that we ran without water. This is going to mean that for about $5800 ,496 owners can make more power and torque than a HP525EFI with bolt on parts and a helluva lot less money! Heck, paint all the parts black, put the Merc plastic engine cover back on and really mess with people's minds!

So is that $5800 you bolting these parts on or me bolting these parts on?

You guys have a tendency to read a to much into my statements! You get 125 plus horsepower for $5800 and you bolt the parts on. Don't think there is anyone who is going to give you 125 horsepower and bolt it on for $5800! Let me know who and I will hire them.
Thanks for the comeback
