BTW, my fuel system has an additional electric fuel pump and larger lines going to the engine along with the adjustable fuel pressure regulator and ported intake.

This guy is doing a Crockett setup:

Not a screw up, they probably wanted some lower dyno numbers for a baseline so the upgrades he bought looked like they gave him more hp! :D Actually, I have heard that the "tolerances" for hp ratings on the black motors(5% I think) aren't as tight as they are for the blue motors(2%???). And the blacks were typically overrated while the blues underrated. Which is why I love the HP500 motor!

I second talking to Tyler, very honest guy that builds real hp.

The 500HP is overrated just like the black motors. I have dynp sheets to prove that......

The 525HP is underrated by a little.

I am just going by what I have read on here and other boating forums over the last 5 or 6 years. HP500s seem to dyno at 500 or a higher.

Are you putting your motors on the dyno and installing the parts? I would love to see what kind of real world numbers you get.

I am hoping to get on the dyno around mid april.

Hey dg, what do you think an entire FI setup is worth on the used market? Someday, I would like to go to 540's and I don't think this Merc FI system will handle it and will probably have to switch over to carbs.

I think your FI will handle 540's. Lingenfelter made 540's that were 585HP-595Hp and they used the same FI, just a different ECM calibration.

Same injectors too?

Cool, keep us posted. I'm curious to see what the numbers are.
