Hi All,
I have the 5.7 Gi-GF 280 hp. I need more power, especially low end out of the hole.
Two things:
1. After checking the VP specs comparing the 280 to the 300 hp, the block numbers (bore, stroke, compression ratios, displacement) are all identical. That leaves the top of the motor (heads, intake, injection) to be the difference. (Assuming it's not an air restriction problem, exhaust manifolds etal, as the problem.) What is the difference and can I reasonably modify the existing motor to gain the additional power I need?
new heads, intake...??
reprogramming?
2. I have a dual prop.. Any prop recommendations?
Digging out out up here in NH so boating is just around the corner!!
Thanks to all!!
