So is this the HP variation of your ski boat engine?
Do you guys have any intention of offering a 400-450hp version?
I'm sure this is in the $ league of the 525($20-25k).
Thanks!

I will venture a guess was strength& durability. Putting out that much power in a small block and aluminum might be an issue. But, there may be other reasons including cost.
Ilmor has stolen my idea ... or in reality got it to the market first.

As I understand the video on this engine, it is a cast iron block and I'm sure there is a good reason for that verses aluminum. Beside cost, what other factors are involved?
