I do not want to hear from Ray, but I would like to hear from anybody who has INSTALLED one of Raylars kits for a 496. I would like to hear what the product looks like and how was it to install. I WOULD ONLY LIKE TO HEAR FROM PEOPLE WHO HAVE INSTALLED, NOT YOUR BUDDY.

Thanks alot.

If you want it from the horses mouth go to www.hotboat.net There a several people who have just had this install done and are just getting their numbers in after prop testing. They are posting tons of stuff about the install and performance afterwards. The 496 is a popular motor out that way. FWIW from what I read most the places that carry and/or install it are sold out. In high demand. Hope this helps.

Chrome...what is the general consensus over there?

Just go and lurk, everythings cool..

Sorry, but at this point all I have is stories of installs by a shop. Results of the kit itself have been very promising. Give me a few weeks and I will have more info for you.

chrome gorilla can you be more specific where i can find the 496 info in the hot boat forums?

Here you go. I'm going to start reading them myself...

I'll be the first to say.....I was kinda nervous on the Hotboat site. Kinda like a kid walking away from his mom for the first time. I think I'll just stick to OSO.

In next weeks release of the HOT Boat magazine May issue there is a multi-page tech article of a customers boat with before tests, on the dyno stock and after Raylar kit and some after in the water tests that should give everybody a pretty clear picture of how a Raylar kit works on a stock 496HO.
