Re: 500 EFI Power Increase
No, just finishing & cleaning stupid stuff still from AC install. I have a small water leak on the back of the dyno'd engine I can not find. One day its there, the next time, nothing, the next time 1-2 inched in the bilge. It shows up on the back of the top of the notch in the transom. It only show on high RPM runs. I guess I am going to have to take off the hatch and make a run.
Last weekend I made a long run Sunday. The 32 Pitch labbed w .020 extra cup ran 50GPS@3200RPM, 80GPS@4600RPM, 85GPS@4800RPM. Weather sucks today. Looks like tomorrow will be better. GPS recall shows 94 so far. That was with the 30P @5700RPM. I think this prop will get 95-97. |
Re: 500 EFI Power Increase
Memorial day Sunday I did a 110 mile trip. I filled the boat before I left. Yesterday I filled the tank again & I used 70 gallons. That equals a 1.571 miles per gallon. With the 500EFI's stock I got 1.33. That is right at 1/4 extra mile per gallon. That was the ultimate benefit for sending the engine to Mark @ Precision to Dyno.
Gas is $2.15/ Gallon 110/1.33= 82.7 Gallons x 2.15=$177.80 110/1.571=70.01 x 2.15= $150.52 Savings $27.28 that day. Lets assume I do not run that much. I assume I only run 75 miles per day average. 75/ 1.33 = $56.39 75/1.571= $47.74 $56.39- $ 47.74= $8.65/ Day March 6 Days - Spring Break April 4 Days May 6 days June 8 Days July 12 Days August 10 Days September 8 Days October 4 Days Total Days 58 Days 58 x $8.65 = $501.70 That means it takes 3 years to pay for the investment of Dyno. I do many poker runs and weekend trips not accounted. I feel like the dyno calibration was really a 2 year return. Not a bad return as well as good speed increase |

Re: 500 EFI Power Increase
Russ,
I feel even better now. I can't believe I messed up on the math. Oh well, good thought but did not check everything on that post. Indiana, Magic, I do not show my wife any of this stuff because I would get the same answer. Matter of fact, she still thinks the motors are stock. |
