Tyler is as good as they come. He tuned and dynoed my 502 with a procharger he did a great job. Made 740hp and 740 ft. lbs. of torque. He just built a 540 with a Whipple for a friend of mine. It had some tuning problems so he flew here to Va. to work on it. Got the problems all worked out and ran 102.4 in a 29 Fountain during the Potomac Radar Run.

As Buck stated I am picky and I highly recommend anything that Tyler works on from boats to cars to Harley's.

All kidding aside Tyler is a stand up guy and even though I bought a boat with the competition(blue) motor in it, he has helped me out with any questions that I had and has done some work for me. Hes been in the business some 20 odd years now, you dont last that long putting crap out.

On top of being among the best in the business, he's a good guy.

I chose to do business w/ Tyler because of his great reputation , especially here on OSO. He is our "Official ORL Engine Re-sealer" , I would highly reccomend him.

JBoat,
I think you have the idea by now as to Tyler Crockets' reputation.
There are a number of good/reputable engine builders out there. Tyler is indeed one that is at the top of the game. Not only is it true that Tyler has done quite a bit of R&D on the 496 for GM and himself, but he has also built racing engines for a whole fleet of offshore racing teams ranging from A clas, B class, Factory 1 and Factory 2, the old Super V class and a host of Outlaw performance class race boats. He was one of the select few APBA Authorized Factory Racing rebuilders, and has his name on a bunch of offshore, lake and river screamers on the water.
In short, Don't think twice about the power, just make sure the rest of the boat is OK.
