It's been discussed a lot and all the engine builders will agree that you have to change some internals before installing a supercharger on the 496's... (Cast internals) So plan on some serious $$$$$$$

Right... That is what I was afraid of... I really don't want to crack those motors open... I am really just looking for some bolt on Noise, with maybe a few MPH I guess...

Looks like the Headers are the first thing to start with... Feels like I'm working on the Mustangs again...haha

3 000$ for a better sound... Is it really worth it?

Good luck, not trying to be discouraging but I think the 496 are just as good as they can be... STOCK!

Raylar seems to have real world results, search the forums, it's been discussed a lot...

If you have mufflers, REMOVE them! :D You'l find 1-2 mph's and a great sound! :D

Re: 496 HO's...
 
Nope no Mufflers...

Guess it depends how much sound we are talking... And we're really talking $6K since there's twins... But if I got a few more MPH with it, and some Bling (Chrome) could be worth it..

Who knows... I'm just exicted... I'd really just settle for some 70 degree Weather... :drink:

Are 496 H.O.'s way better on gas than HP500 EFI's??

Re: 496 HO's...
 
You got me... I've only had the boat for 3 weeks, and only went for a 45 minute ride... Although I did hear they were "More" fuel efficient then other motors...

Maybe that means 1MPG instead of 1/2MPG.... :eek:

How do 496 HO's sound compared to 500HP's??

JUST DO THE CMI SPORT TUBES........bolt on HP and torque and keep the warranty in place as well.....just my .02

I think it would be more like $6k a side with installation.
