scenario and conclusion ?
 
3 0f the same boat (year make and model) all have same options with full fuel , one has 496 ho's(425hp(75mph gps) one has 500efi's(470hp) (80mph gps) one has 525 efi's (525hp)( 85mph gps) seems to me that if installing the cmi exhaust for the 496 engines @ 55 claimed hp per side I should be able to hit the 80mph gps like the boat equiped with the 500efi's ?

is the 496HO 425 at the prop like the 470 you are stating for the 500? i would guess that the 500efi would out pull the 496 with headers with the same prop and gear ratio....

This is exactly what I was thinking<< :et: >> I was also told that headers will not void the mercruiser warranty? (not sure i beleive it ?) Could take them back off?? :eureka: But that wouldn't be right? :rolleyes: Sounds like 496 HO way to go if you want a real warranty and then can always upgrade for more speed later.. (Is my conclusion) for whats it worth.. :drink: Change me mind way to much :cool:

i am talking standard warranty, you can buy that mercury guard or whatever, but some of the guys on here have had a hard time getting stuff fixed.... but standard warranty is one year for both engines... and no way a 496HO with headers is gonna pull the same gear/prop as a 525 does (usually 535-540 HP)..
