Dude -

BS or or not, it's a little more complicated than that. At present, even though we all know there are no "Pollution Police" it is illegal to "...tamper with any system that may effect emissions." If caught, the fines are stiff (up to $25,000/day) and can be imposed on the dealer and his technician as well as you the owner.

First, the manufacturer has some pretty tight controls on these things right now. If you buy a new EMM, its essentially brain dead. It needs to be brought to life and properly programmed with model number, serial number, injector coefficients, etc. Second, unless one works for BRP manufacturing, Engineering or Technical Service, the software program to do all this is simply unavailable to us general public types. Even the software dealers use isn't capable of loading a new EMM, it requires some pre-programming from the factory boys. Third, for liability reasons, no manufacturer is going to knowingly let someone bump the hp programming - If someone were to get hurt or killed, only the lawyers would get rich on that one.

You said yourself, that your cars hop ups are as clean as stock. Alot of R&D went into that, including emissions testing. Someone had to prove to EPA that the mods were clean. Unfortunately there's more of a demand for clean car hop up parts than for clean outboard hop up parts. Maybe someday, someone will put up the R&D bucks.

We can all appreciate the money issue - we've all been there!

I think you will pretty happy with the 75 as it is, and it does sound like a pretty good deal.

Later,
