When you hit the rev limiter will the power drop off noticeably? Only asking because I'm wondering if the Guardian system undetectably reduces power to maintain a constant rpm.

Old yeller, The answer is yes . it breaks the ignition and beeps at you I think the Rev limiter on the 496 is set a 5200RPM, I would get into it with the Stock prop, My hydro runs at 5100 WOT 72.6 GPS, with just me and fuel and a small cooler of Boat sodas. Good enough!!!
