My 03 201 w/225ho has the 27 tempest and runs great w/ all three stock plugs in. It also blows out the prop as it breaks over but its not bad. I think it helps out the hole shot to let it slip a little to get the r's up jst watch the rpms,dont want too much slip. The 27 bites good comming out. You might have the 25 worked up a pitch. You know stratos lay over to the left until they pull up on pad also. Great boats,ride like butter.Jim
