It is absolutely worth every penny. Just be sure that you do the other things that are needed. If you have a 2004 or earlier 525, then it will not have Cometic head gaskets or ARP head bolts. These items should be changed.
You will also need to upgrade the boats fuel system. That includes the pickup, fuel lines, fuel filter mount, etc. Let me know if I can help in any way. I am a Whipple dealer and have done a ton of them.

I drove on a Mahopac Sunsation with the 525 w/ whipple and that boat pulled like no other and fun fun fun fun if that was not clear it was AWESOME!

Can you give us more details?

If you search here you will find a lot of satisfied customers. I would definitely consider his products as well as Eddie Young's

awesome package... just treat it with some respect as far as drives and you will be fine.. the 525s are dogs on heavy boats the whipples really makes them come alive when you want it. and when your just cruising around, your at zero boost.

Any pics of this Magic...???

131 in a Magic of any size or setup is hard to beleive...

A buddy of mine had almost 1100hp in his and it was a pig, 106 at best...

Once you sign off on modifying engines, there will be issues and fixes required on any product from anyone.

Obviously, you have a right to your opinion but with that said, why don't you explain or elaborate a little?

What kind of problems have you had??

We just did a 525 efi whipple upgrade and the power is awesome, just take your time and do it right, will post a dyno pull for you so you can see.
