What would be better for my application? I have a 2000 225 V-max. I was told i needed a nosecone,or an hpdi lower unit. I know the price difference,but I have a phase 3 kit installed and I am worried about getting out of control over 83mph GPS. what is the difference in getting a nose cone on the unit i have or getting an HPDI L/U?
i believe that the HPDI lu has different gears. you should have 1.81 in your current gear case. i have bob's lwp w/nose cone. it will allow you to come up higher than HPDI because HPDI is not a true lwp. it is still on the side of the gear case. i think bob's would be cheaper too! http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/wink.gif
call hydrotec and see if the have an hpdi with the mods done to it.
my lower unit has water pickups on the bottom of the nose cone.
I would try and trade someone for the hpdi LU with 1.75 gears. You will be able to run props 1-2 pitchs lower and run faster/safer. A one piece LU is better than an add on cone.
mike, is that true lwp on the hpdi lu? i might have spoke out of place. http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/smile.gif
My HPDI LU only sux water from the bottom/side of the nose through a screen. I have run above the pad w/o any water pressure issues.

+1 good for about 4 mph on my 210 over stock hpdi l/u. http://xs-s.com/zf/images/smile/emthup.gif
Mike's fish are shallow, me thinks he's on a top water bite.
I've got a Titus mod with torque tab and foil mod. I like it, but I also think 250 came with 1.75 ratio. The Titus mod really carries the back of the boat, can run less positive trim for a more level ride.
Yeah baby, that's what I like on an efi. Havn't got that yet though.
