Not really,
This since nothing on my boat is very "stock" thus what I use, would not be as effective for stock engines and mounting positions I have a redesigned lower unit with a low water pickup in the nose cone that is much slimmer and lighter than a stock unit, where I have positioned items weight and balance wise, is different than stock. I even use different temperature range spark plugs since I run higher octane fuels. The list goes on and on...

About that the only things some may compare with mine, is the fact that it has a 3 bladed SS prop and a sticker that says 190 Bay on it I though do not have a speed prop on my engine and as such, can only squeeze out about 45 mph. I can though, launch in about 3 seconds and be on plane. Then I can back her down and run around 2000 RPM range and still "keep" her on a plane. This as I scout out new water while burning very little (GPH) of fuel
