Who knows. I'm still looking for information on the difference between the new 6.2 380/430, and there is literally nothing out there, and no one seems to know for sure yet.Big Block Power wrote: ↑Sat Aug 05, 2017 2:08 pm I wish Tuscany you got to drive the 380 and now that you have the 430 what you really would have to share on it. For me having both 8.1gi and 8.1gxi it's no comparison what a beast. But if I had the gi I would put a set of f6 or f7 props on it to see what it would do. It's amazing how props will change everything. The gear ratios were the same. The bad is you might hit the rev limiter.
The great thing about a bb is who cares how many people or how much gas you have its always the same. It just jumps on plane. That honestly is worth more than top end.
One VP rep has told my dealer that unlike the 6.0L differences, there is no physical or performance hardware enhanced difference between the engines at all, just software tuning.
If that is true, then aftermarket ECU swaps will be coming soon, and a lot cheaper..
The one thing that is evident, it planes out in literally milliseconds. Flat out goes from a dead stop to on plane RIGHT EFFING NOW on a decently large and heavy boat, and snaps your head back anywhere on the rpm scale.
On an R3 sized boat, it would have to be kind of wild..
I imagine your boat can really do some serious home cookin'!
