    Spec's look pretty impressive. I figure the awful shape of the motor will grow on us. For now though its a bit on the "ugly blind date" side of my thinking.

    I photoshopped one on my boat when they first showed the 225. I thought it was going to be hideous. I ended liking it. I will post Later.

    So, it they can flash a 4.2 liter V-6 SHO to 347 flywheel HP. How much will they get out of a 4.6 liter V-8 when they break the code? Any guess on peak HP and Torque?

    I like the look.......The old Square Box V6 Opti Pro XS has aged.
    Now, where does one get a Performance Tuner so that you can HEAR that V-8 Rumble when on the Fly :)

    They might have it in the racing division V8’s or they just may not have listed it.

    Over on S&f supposedly the 300R went 103 on a bullet 21. 6400 limiter. This motor could be the ticket on a Xb 21

    The 300R has a different intake manifold. Short runner vs long runner.

    Those Pro XS and R Series engines sure sound good.

    Paul Nichols ran the 103. He said it had more in it but couldn't get it propped right on short notice.

    Wasn't that a $5,000 prop?

    Not sure I see the correlation between the prop price and speed. I have and have tried $1000 props that get out run by the stock Promax. If I had your magic Promax I could be even better off.

    My point is there may be an issue getting these new motors propped right lol

    I can imagine your boat would do well with my "magic" 28 Promax! The 30 is still on the boat now...

    When I ran the 32 Promax, 32 Pro ET and the 32 CNC prop they all ran the same speed on the rev limiter at 99 mph. We went with a 34 CNC prop because they don't make a 34 Promax prop or a 34 Pro ET.
