IMO Ilmors new drive is going to overshadow the Xpower's debut for several reasons. Not saying the Xpower won't be a quality piece but Ilmor's engineering & resources, reputation, financial backing (Roger Penske) , marketing capabilities, warranty and service etc will be tough to beat. Boat manufacturers are already ordering the drives due to ship in June & it's a warranteed package. Drives only available for retrofits later this year.
Not trying to hijack just a point of interest.

konrad is doing it with the ace package tran in the box and comes with steering and shortie drive thats what I bought for for a single set up 1050hp should be fine. they are rated at 800hp but have seen more power added and are doing fine in light singles. and have seen twin 800s run fine.

And do they have a final retail price on the Xpower drive?

When it is time to buy my next boat in the near future, I will definitely plan on the Ilmor package. I have had both the 550 and the 625 package and loved it. The new 725 package with the new drive is awesome. No question as to whom I would call. Ilmor was fantastic to deal with and customer satisfaction was number 1
