525s V 575s
I am shopping Cigs and wanting to get some pros and cons of each motor( not 525SC). I have read about header issues and a few other things. Hours to think about top end rebuilds, Any thoughts would be great.
Thanks, Quinlan

The best deal out there is Wild's 38 T/S with 575's. http://www.offshoreonlyclassifieds.c...o26273-en.html

My buddy has 575's in his skater and hasn't had any problems. I have a 525, and it's a beast as well. I think it comes down to do you want blower motors or not? If something does go wrong, they are likely going to be more to fix.

I dig my 575's
the only issues that I know of are the rear bearings
are suspect on the B&M superchargers, and the
head gaskets leave something to be desired.
( I just experienced that)

575's are VERY reliable and a solid platform. Like all blue motors figure on upper end about 250 - 300ish hours and have blowershop go through and upgrade blowers this winter.
A TG with those motors is loads of fun. Once you have a blower motor, you will not want to ever go back.

If your happy with stock performance and will never " want more " go with the 525EFI.
The 575 SCI is an easier platform to build on
