Default 496 mag to ho conversion ?

Was wondering besides changing the cam and ecu to convert a 496 mag to ho what fine tuning should be done for optimum performance after the conversion ? I asume the engines sensors and adjustments were set-up for the mag engine and need to be re-tuned for the ho set up? RAYLAR you out there ?

Shouldnt be anything else....ie. all the fine tuning is done on the HO ecm. I think it is plug and play.

Correct, it is plug and play. I was pondering the same thing last year when Bob Loyd (Full Throttle Marine) asked why I would spend about the same in labor for the HO upgrade when I could do a Raylar kit for the same labor and just add a little for the parts. Raylar it was. Crownlines are freaking sleds, so it's still not fast, but sure sounds good now.

So what were your labor cost? I hear you got a REAL good deal.

Let's just say it was reasonable.
