$3600 retail per set. I can't hardly imagine $2400 to install?? even at 500 to 1000 for install, it wouldn't be worth it to me just for a few mph and a different sound.. :rolleyes: |

if you want to supercharge your 496 - do not use stock pistons
the perfect 496 supercharged engine should use at least forged pistons,forged crankshaft, allow heads and a special supercharger cam find them all here www.raylarengine.com |

Is that you Ray using a different screen name? The spot at the base of the riser that is flared to fit around turbulator, does that cause any flow restrictions? |

PS....Just what is the purpose of those 'turbolators' ?? I did remove all that other stuff though... :D Turbulator from my understanding traps and keeps condensation from re-entering the manifold. |
Re: 496 HO's...
Harper is right... Merc labels it as a turbulator in their drawings.... very easy to remove. I took mine out and it did allow me to pick up 200 rpm. Which now when WOT I will hit the limiter, when before I was just under it....
As far as real numbers for the CMI set up...... Every once in a while Boating magazine puts out their "Speedboat" issue..... the latest one I just got has an article entitled.... "Heads, You Win". They take a 22' Scarab with a 2005 496HO and install the CMI's on it. Stock set up had a best of 71.2 MPH. They installed the CMI's and saw 74.3MPH. 3.1 MPH pick up. Test driver said you could feel the boat had a little more grunt during acceleration as well. As far as the install, it look very easy. I would definately not pair for labor to get it done, and try it myself....... hope this helps. |
