Hello All,
Does anyone know the max Hp you can get out of a set of stock mercruiser manifolds without any problems. I have a set of iron 496 manifolds and they are starting to rust interally I flush them after every use but seeing the rust colored water coming out of them I don't think they are going to last much longer the sad thing is they only have about 60 hours on them. Jeff
