You can't get a pair of new Merc 496 HO's installed for 30K!

Its a Dart Big M block, Brodix bb-2x heads and a custom ground cam from Competition Cams. Notice the power at 5300 rpm. When I talked to the Comp people, I told them that I wanted to have peek HP and torque at around 5000 to 5300 RPM with a max rpm at 5500.

Rehr & Morrison did the dyno and I dont believe any numbers were fudged as I had done to me from a prievous well known motor builder that claimed his dyno said the his motor was making 631 HP. I ran my boat and it went 1 mph faster than it did with my original 454 motor. We pulled the new motor out and put it on the dyno...2 different dynos. The motor made 535 HP on one dyno and 537 on the other...no where near the 631 that was claimed.
