lol...well like i said, nice # to be running. I'm still a little sceptical of getting into the mid 80's with mine just don't see how I'm gonna pick up 4-5 with prop work.

CMI Sport Tube Headers Really Woke Up my 496HO's! and allowed me to run a 32 pitch prop and still be at 5100 rpm's W.O.T.

LA, my next edition will be Raylar BCK103 engine kits and see mid -90 mile per hour performance with stock exhaust and a few miles an hour faster with the exhaust header upgrades.

I have looked into that option...I'm not quite mechanically inclined enough to attempt the kit install myself plus I have bravo X drives and I think I'd be better off with XR's and the extra HP so it gets pretty $$$$ but I still think about it A LOT!!! I also keep my eyes and ears pealed for a good deal on a pair of 525's better yet...are the new 600 sci's still for sale in the classifieds????

LA the bravo x's would be fine with the Raylar kit

THE 288 KID

Give Tyler crockett a call hes making 575 dyno h.p. from h.o.'s and quoted me 6500$ to do it and that's a complete rebuild, pistons, heads, ecu, etc etc.... all u need is headers

He also sed my bravo would handle it no problem...

I'll check into that option....depending on headers that's gonna add 3 to 5k x 2 for me which isn't too bad but the engine upgrades are a year away for me right now...still need to get a few more hours out of what i have.

THE 288 KID

575 n/a h.p. would put my old style 288 into the 80's fo sho!

for sure.......mercury states the bravo x is good for 600hp, and probably under rated at that. Now I wouldn't be bolted a 1075 to it or something along that note
