    3.0 Alien Cowling?

    So, I got my hands on a 3.0 Alien cowling made by Chris Dunn. The question is can I run it without any mods to my ECU to account for the extra airflow? Dont want to hurt my motor. I am running a 2005 225 Pro XS.

    So the last thread I saw about this subject went something like this: yes, no, yes, no, yes, no, yes, no, yes, no, yes, no, yes, no, yes, no, yes, no, yes, no!!!!!

    Good luck. Personally I don't know either way, but I have a relative who has been running one on a 250 Pro XS for two+ years with no issues "with no calibration".

    I bought one earlier this year and haven't seen any negative effects other than it is noisier than the stock 300xs cowl. The rig runs the same with or without it. I believe it looks better than stock. The person I purchased it from said the same thing, he was also running a 300xs.

    They are noisy but muffle the compressor noise, i wish I had a stock cowl for family days on water...

    Seams like your supposed to move the air temp sensor to make up for the change in the air flow. Dbr can tell you.
