Why do they have 5 motors all within 80 H.P. of each other? Now they have the 520, 525, 540, 565 and the 600.

I believe the 525 is being phased out in favor of the 540. But all the others, its just like eliminator having Daytona's at 25, 26, 27, 28, and 30. 25, 27, and 30 would make sense to me.
525 is going away to be replaced by the 540. I admit it is strange to see all these very similar motors and then nothing in between the 700 and 1100. The 850 is still available I believe but only until they sell them all. Last I heard there were still a few left over. But I guess sales dictate production and the 500 to 700 hp market is huge and very competitive.

Which makes me think you could get a swinging deal on a pair of 850's....Quote:

I really don't know all the details but I have been told that the 520 will cost quite a bit more to rig as it is "Fly by wire" and the cost differential is much closer when this is taken into account.....anyone know what those numbers are??Quote:
