Re: Exhaust upgrades for 292 Fastech 6.2 MPI

I replaced mine with Stainless marine manifolds. I have the Corsa CC. The install was tight but it fits fine with some patience. Better sound, better power but some more transom soot.

Re: Slow trim tab movement - normal for Bennetts?

I switched out the Bennetts for Eddie Marine Tabs. Big improvement in planing and rough water ride plus they are fast. Took a weekend to do right but well worth it. It's a good off season project.

Re: 377 Scorpion Motor??

Sorry guys been a bit busy lately.

The Stainless Manifolds went on without any ECU remapping and it runs fine w/o it. It does smoke a bit more and leaves more soot on the stern that's why I'm...

Re: 292 Fastech and trim-in limit spacers

Re: Formula 292 vs Donzi 28 ZX

Formula...but I'm biased :drink:

I shopped around before going with the 292. For the same $ the Formula "felt" bigger and rode better. They are both quality boats, good luck.

Re: Bleeding hydrolic steering

I bleed the tabs by running up and down...I'd guess the steering would be the same since they're a similair ram design. Exercise the system real well to make sure you get all the bubbles out.

Re: 292 fiberglass issues

Mine is 4.0 and it has seen 80 hours of moderate to heavy use. It's a real solid boat. I concur with Slick, any chance of impact damage there?

Re: Who's tweaked a 292?

What kind of R's are you getting now and how much did they improve with the IMCO exhaust? Did you get flamearresters and reprogram your ECUs? I bet 24's would help top-end as long as you...
