Are you taking about the 700sci? I have the Whipple stage 2 upgrade on my 600sci and and it was the best $2500 I have ever spend on a boat I have had no problems at all and the boat is 10 mph faster and excilerates much harder then stock, it idles and runs the same as stock until you hit the gas, it is very easy to install in about 20 minutes. The 600sci and the 700sci have all the same components except the cam and inter cooler on the 700 is bigger and it has more stock boost then the 600sci.

I have a 600 sci , did the whipple stage 2 kit got 10MPH on GPS with no problems at all . It was well worth the cost . If you have 700 sci motors now I wouldnt take all of that of for turbos.Do the upgrade you wont be disappointed Its easy to install.

There should be some write up about the 488 Skater V ( Tborisch's Tainted Lady) when Ron aka Flight Club took ownership of it... dropped in 700's w/ stage three's I believe - only positive comments from what I recall on the threads of the Skaterfest weekend last year

Yes but my boat is single engine so it is no big deal getting at the engine, you will be with out a boat for a week or two because you have to take the computers off of the engines and send them to Whipple to be reprogramed.

I had done the whipple upgrades to my 700. Just be careful the motors are hydraulic rollers don't rev much over 5500. Keep in mind small oil pans change the oil as much as you can. Use good oil as well. Other than that Dustin was great to deal with.
