If the boost was turned up to a point where better fuel needed to be used, then sure, you're correct.
Well, to me it looks like Enough 4 Play's post sort of implies it. I know it's not mentioned directly, but the comment about the 1350 running race gas and going for the Sterling 1700TT's, I would guess refers to what merc did with the 1200sci on the 1075sci platform. But I see what you mean, that's also why I added the last bit. It's all good:drink:

Just to go a bit off topic. I see your "Bad idea" is for sale. What's next???

Mercury is well known for doing this. The problem is that the public has no way of buying them as you can with the Sterlings.
KK, look forward to seeing you. Rumor says that Merc has both 48' MTI's of Bob's turned up to 1700's. Should be a great weekend of high HP and 1700hp Sterlings in a 388 Skater, Mike D should have a great weekend.
