Love it but so true!

And some of these threads are so long, and get derailed so many times you have to use selective reading!

Too rich or just some built in leeway? I wouldn't do this and then have to buy 91 octane which can be hard to find at the gas docks. And it is only about 25-30 hp and 1-3 mph, probably about 1 mph for most of us. It might be a neat trick for sealed 525 racers, if legal, but doesn't sound good for a recreational boat. I will pass on it and recommend that you do too.

Now the whipple kit is intriguing but I'll have to wait until my money tree sprouts another 20-30 grand.

The 2004's were. There was a reprogram on later models to get rid of a transom sooting issue.

Of course with todays fuel,,,,I think Id rather have that tune back

This is more the a fuel map change though
