I'm confused. The title is F250TXR which is 250HP motor and you say it's powered by twin 200's.

The 200s are great motors. I know lots of guys with lots of hour on them. The 250?s on the other hand don?t have the same great reputation. On top of them requiring the use of 93 octane fuel, they where know to have issues when first released. Not sure if the issues have been fully resolved but most tend to shy away from them because of the fuel requirements.
