Looking at the Racers Packages that ILMOR was offering, about $31,000. With less parasitic drag and less weight, the Indy should be a little bit faster than the #6. Don't know about Merc pricing...

No blower- same or slightly more HP
No belt dust all over your bilge <better top end rush less midrange and low end> more compact- a tad longer but not as tall All aluminum Better mileage great service and support (this is all about your "guy" though) better drive- (less parasitic loss) Factory CMI's Far fewer computer issues than the merc 700 Lifespan is incredible with little to no maintenance, and some guys reporting hours at 600+ with nothing more than fluid changes. Uncle Dave Thanks for the info. Dean |

UD,
Thanks for the info. Dean I was quite skeptical as to why bother finding a replacement to a BBC and thought for a long time the Ilmor was an answer to a question not worth asking. I was wrong. Its a very worthy mill thats quite different from whats out there now, and I couldn't be more pleased with my choice after 2 seasons of ownership. Although not as hip as the new gen 4 725, the gen3 710 isn't far off and it never fails to delight even my most hardcore buddies, and scare my passengers with a push of the stick. It also delights me at the gas pump routinely getting around 2.5 MPG on long ocean voyages. This gives my smallish boat a decent range on a 100 gallon tank. Ive taken multiple 300 mile round trips and this thing just purrs. Idles like a kitten around the docks and howls like a raped ape roaring right in between a BBC and a Lambo - it has to be heard to be believed. Uncle Dave |

Uncle Dave Great pics, I recognize Avalon Harbor/water taxi in the 1 pic. That is great MPG you are getting, amazing! I'm trying to remember what drive you are running on Lavey? Thanks, Dean |

Thanks, Dean Im running a Teague platinum/BRavo XR Mileage- pretty incredible IMHO. It makes runs like Del Rey to avalon a cheaper affair than an Imax 3d movie. (really) Chicks ride for free (of course) and sausages buy drinks and gas- or better yet bring their own rides - To be fair I don't rail it too hard in the ocean with passengers I typically run 35-60 out to the ithsmus then when Im in the protected water "Burst" up to about 80-85 for 3-5 mile stretches then calm it down a bit. I havent had a single person regardless of experience or ownership tell me the mill doesn't deliver. A buddy on the run to Avalon he would stick it up to about 45-50 then push it forward and laugh maniacally over and over repeating "holy-$hit" everytime the mill cracked into the top half of the tach.
