Since the Suzuki 250 & 300 have the same bore and stroke where does the 50hp
 
Where does the extra 59hp come from if they are the same bore stroke and displacement. The cams? Thx for any info rm

Im no engine guru but cam is part of the answer, head flow, compression, computer, max rpm

must be along those lines but someone sure knows for real!

ive been wondering the same. I have a suspicion they may be closer than advertised based on differences in speed. Will have to research.

Article on iboats

the program that controls the variable valve timing function on the intake valves was re-coded, as was the program that controls the motor's variable intake path function.

"This was all done in the computer," said Greenwood. "The actual cam profiles are not changed. We were able to produce a torque curve that is very similar to that of a big two-stroke. Not quite as strong as a two-stroke, but very close. It peaks much faster that the curve on the DF300."

DF250 3.6L
DF250SS 4.0
DF300 4.0
DF350 4.4

The DF250SS must have confused you. Per the article above it’s tuned differently.
