The January SpeedBoat magazine has an article on this topic.
Save 28 pounds per motor in weight.
Claimed peak per engine 80 HP, average numbers were 55 HP.
$4100 gets one set and a new ECU according to this article.
Test boat gained 3 mph on a single engine application.

ECU mapping not required.

Is it just me or is the Baro pressure and relative humidity all over the map between the two dyno runs.
Just curious...
Thanks,
Dave

The uncorrected numbers go up by 35hp, not bad. An ECU remap probably wouldn't hurt.

Hey Fred,
I understand that very clearly
It just seems that with the Baro and Humidity on the second run that they were testing it out in the rain???
Just trying to understand.
It seems that it would take no more than 1/2 hour to swap the headers on the dyno so why not back to back?

BTW, the custom tailed platniums worked out perfect on the Bulldog.
Thanks,
Dave
