    It depends on what year 150. The 150’s came in 2.0, 2.4, and 2.5L sizes. The XR2 is a 2.0L that was sold for a coupla three years in the late 80’s. Compared to a 150 black max 2.0L of the same vintage the XR2 came with a few upgrades; bigger carbs, better tuner and plate, and a few other doo dads. The XR2 made around 160hp maybe a bit more. I had a 2.0L that I ran for one year, great motor. I still have an XR2 I have yet to run

    XR6 was a 2.5L, XR2 was a 2L. More cubes meant more torque. The XR2 had the standard gear case, 2:1 gears. The XR6 could have the standard gear case with 1.87 gears, or the smaller 4.25” gear case with 1.78 gears.

    Probably wrong, but didn't the XR bass motors come with a timing adv. box that gave a few degrees more above 5700-5800 rpms?

    I had an XR4. It had a timing box that retarded the timing to limit HP. I don’t know if the XR6 was the same. If it matters, the XR4 was 2.4L

    I believe my Daughter's '02 XR6 shows a 5,800 r.p.m. red line!

    When I had my XR4 on my SS2000, it would not pull more then 6000 rpm, even with a 24” prop

    It was possible to remove the timing box and get more rpm out of an XR4. Was the XR6 the same?
