what can i expect by upgrading to HO from MAG?
Ive got an '05 cobalt 262 with the 496 mag. Im considering the upgrade of turning the engine into the HO. I have the bravo 3 outdrive. but Im concerned that the money spent on the upgrade wont be worth the final outcome. Also, i dont have the selectable exhaust. (unfortunately), is that something im going to need to consider to see much of a gain by going HO?
what should i expect in mph gain?

2-5 mph alittle quicker getting on plane all depends on how you end up proping it, rember its only 50 hp difference but will hold up alittle better

If it is changed to HO specs it must have open exhaust. I really don't think the expense and hassle is worth it. You could keep an eye out for a 525, but I'm not sure how the BIII would like all that torque
