I know the only differnce is the ecm program and camshaft.
has anybody done it? worth it?
for less then 2k I could add 100hp to my twin engine boat and go from 75mph gps to 81 mph gps.
I like to hear back from someone that has done it
thanks

I don't think I would mess with just a cam. I would go ahead a Raylar it up and you will be more happy. My thinking is you won't be happy with a 100 hp, it will make you want more.

all that work on twins for 2 mph gain will suck,but if I gain 4mph it would be ok,well I will be doing the cam and ecu switch Saturday,then will have to wait for the 1st nice weekend to see if it was worth it or not.

Just plug all your numbers into the propslip calculator and then increase the rpm by 300 and see what you get. That should be pretty close.

You'll need parts obviously.
Even the balancer has to come off. Lot of work but hey I remember all that.
