Ray has a great package. I know who helped develope the heads, who cast them and who machines them and that part is top notch along with the rest of it. I use the same people for my cylinder heads, with excellent results.

Awesome results! The Raylar kits are fantastic! I love the mid-range torque, I cruise @ 60mph all day long and the engine doesn't even break a sweat!

Congrats on the performance increase. Over the cost of the Raylar kit, what additional costs associated with the install did you have? I saw that you have added exhaust and props and know what those cost, but I am looking for additional expense strictly associated with the Raylar install.

Thanks,
Keith

Enjoy.

Wink Good Job!

Glad to hear another customer achieved wondeful results with our Raylar equipment. If you have a Merc or Volvo 496 and you need more reliable performance, then Raylar has your products!

The Raylar BCK103 kits that TwinSpins used are just a little over $7K each and if you are putting them on a 496MAG (375HP) engine the rpeorgramming charge for the ECM is $675 per ECM. Just some exact info on Raylar pricing.

Best Regards,
Ray @ Raylar

Twin, its awesome when the hard earned cash we spend puts a smile on our faces and doesnt piss us off!!
My new Raylar equiped Silencer puts a smile on my face...I gained 7 mph on gps....and the growl...who hoo!!
I am still spinning the same labbed 26 Bravo 1 blade though.....although with the ECM re-flash the rev limiter is way higher.
Are you getting any black soot on the transom...mine gets black from the exhaust....
