800 hp ' busa come with a 2 year warranty? I'm just teasin. I don't doubt your claims, just curious as to the longevity in a marine application, that's all. Merc validates all their products before production. 40 hours @wot full load. That's a some serious punishment.

500ci hemi
8000hp
5 second w/ tee
Pointless comparing drag engine and worse one that needs a gearbox.
The v8 hyabusa tested in the middle east was a joke as an outboard replacement.Last edited by powerabout; 05-03-2016 at 10:56 PM.

Cheesy, try logging out and back in again, it might correct your double-posting issue.

I'm more of a nitrous guy ( mad scientist ) , but I did run a 509 ci motor with a hi-helix 8-71 . Pretty mild in the scope of things and still made 1500 + . So putting out three times displacement is not a stretch . Putting it in the hands of the public and offering a wty could be a real problem ...
Remember these "turbo cranks" .. LOL

Is the boost level on these conservative or high to make 400 HP?

I'm not sure of the boost level but it's definitely set at a conservative enough level to keep the engine reliable.

On a side note, to this day, the introduction of the Verado 300 at the Miami Boat Show, 2004, was the most impressive product launch ever. It was just an incredible day. I need to post some photos from that.

The 400 R develops 15 pounds - at sea level on a cool day with low humidity . When altitude and atmospheric conditions require , it has the ability to generate 29.5 pounds to keep the horsepower at 400. This is accomplished with an electronic boost control valve. Go to 400 Verado on U-Tube - Mercury Marine video explains it. At my altitude - 1800 ft , my 300x only makes about 305 hp on an ideal day - cool and dry - so most of the time I would guess 290 hp. So I should have about a 100 - 110 hp gain .I should have the 22 Talon in the water in about 10 days - I will post the results as soon as I shake it down.

That seems like a lot of boost. Very cool. I appreciate the information Robert, and definitely want to see your Talon.

To say you at 1800' above sea level sound's like your at a disadvantage compared to us at 6' above.
It's really about what the corrected density altitude is in your area for that day.
Here in Florida I have seen mornings that were -300' below , and summer afternoons that were +3500' above .
Pilots and dyno operators live by ( no pun ) the correction factor. I would hate to be in a plane at night where the pilot thinks he is 10' feet in the air and is really over a 100' and is going to just set it down nice and soft. Or buy a 350 hp motor and have it "only" make 270 when you get it home 1500 miles away.
Boost or "manifold pressure" is a funny thing too. Say you make 15 lbs. Then put on a better flowing head. ( less restriction) you speed up yet boost goes down .
It's good that today's engines deal with load , rpm , fuel curve and ignition timing . While it might not be optimal under every condition , it sure is better than wetting you finger sticking it the air and make a call on the tune-up ...

Charlie, this reminds of the SNL skit,

I wonder how the Verado 400R would respond to boost increases beyond stock.
