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 ?

This is exactly what I was thinking<< >> I was also told that headers will not void the mercruiser warranty? (not sure i beleive it ?) Could take them back off?? But that wouldn't be right? 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.. Change me mind way to much
