Chris,
There seems to be some very happy customers over on Hotboat/Sandbar forum but to date they've only been on cats.
Problem is all of these 496 HO cats were under powered to begin with and were not able to lift. The Raylar has enabled them to get past that wall and when they do they pick up gobs of speed. There are some claiming 18 mph increases with the kit.
Well, we all know that the dyno proven 100 hp gain will net you a 6-8 mph gain on a single V.
It appears to be a very well engineered system that performs and installs well, but to date it's only had some unrepresentative claims (in my eyes anyway.)

A couple of good things about a 540 are that you won't need to mess with the Raylar kit and that you can still do the Whipple next winter. Oh, and you'll be much faster now and then. 
And I know Bob has some red and yellow paint so it'll match the boat really nice!
