I would talk to Pat before running or spending the money on a shorty. The word is that it is a waste of money from what I heard.

Glad I started posting and asking questions. Might just change prop w/ the 525 and call it a day for now. I left pat a message, thanks for the input.

nice 28, what top end difference are you expecting from the 525, or is it more midrange??. My next choice would be the 33 also, but my choice would be 496ho's I think for the insurance rate break. But on the other hand.........525 'swould be sweet

I know twin 525's, the insurance guy would have fun with that. I am hoping to see low 70's and mid range improvement. Just worked out with buying the 525 and selling basically a new 496Ho not a bad deal. The cmi headers for a 496HO would have been 4-5K including install. For not much more I was able to pull off a swap(as long as the 496HO sells!?)

Got your message.

Go with an unworked 26 Bravo for a starting point. That should get you mid 70s with no problem.

Odds are a Mercury hi-perf 28 lab will be the ultimate.

No experience with 5 bladers yet but the Maxi labbed by Mercury might be the ticket as well. Just pricey experimentation.
