Re: More Horses in a 225HP 3.0L
The 225 and 250 in 2003 do not share the same block as the 250 is ported different. The 1994-96 are the same blocks,one outstand feature was no idle relief notch in sleeve. This is why you see little performance difference in them.(225-250) It was 2002 when Merc started porting differences. A 15% increase would make this motor beast if real world possible,more like a 15% increase in fuel usage with little hp gain.
