I picked up about 4 - 5 mph when I went from standard length sportmasters to the -2's imcos. So far Px-5's have work well.

If you get your cooling water from your XR lowers you will likely have to install pressure relief valves when you switch to imcos. The water inlet for the imco's picks up a lot more water and you will likely blow off your cooling hoses if you don't have a relief valve to dump the excesss overboard.
