When I bought my 496MAG it was about $4K more than the 6.2L and $4K less than the HO (never priced the Scorpion). Figured I would use that $4K I saved later to change the cam and look at other mods and possibly get a better bang for the buck. Check out http://www.raylarengine.com/ for some possible upgrades.

Sometimes it feels like it.

496ho all the way.

I didn't want an engine that wasn't running at its optimal configuration, I got the HO. I don't think I'd have been happy knowing that there were a few more horses to be had for a few extra dollars. You get over the dollars quick, but knowing there's more to be had for the lifetime of your boat isn't worth it...go for the HO.

Thats what I'd say.......GO FOR THE "HO"

It's about $1800 actually...best money you will spend in this sport. Get the HO...50ponies and no doubt 2-3mph in whatever hull it's in. You would be very shortsighted not to.

Problem is it's a 2002 left over boat, as is, out the door. seems like a good deal just it has a 496 plain not HO


Maybe i can just whipple the Byach
