I picked up 9 mph but I am still tweeking.....well not lately...only boating.
The Raylar pkg was everything Ray said it would be....lots of torque and power, and sounds awesome as hell.
I have ran the crap out of my Raylar 525 and it has never missed a beat.
The piston issue if there is one scares me though.....

I completely understand that chit happens. I am mechanically inclined and spent my younger days building bb chevys running on alcohol for 1/4 mile drags. Spent a lot of time at the machine shop that sponsored my car. My point is there are a lot of people out there that are clueless (not necessarily saying your are Brad 
) when it comes to engines and when they read on a website these engine 'kits' will 'raise the level of reliability', they may actually believe it. How can a BCK-103 kit increase reliability when using stock pistons? Now upgrading to the forged piston kit may be another story. I just think if this was pointed out in the first place things may have turned out differently. My 2 cents.
BTW, I think Ray really did what he could once things went to chit and I am really sorry to hear about the family medical issues.

I would have thought the same thing blue thunder. I have seen a high performance engine go bad because of bad fuel. Piston # 6 is the first to go. Not once but twice. Give me a 525 anyday of the wekk. They will run for ever with the right maintenance.
