Boat,
Did you replace pistons in the engine? Or is this a stock HO engine?

You need to install a seperate transom water pick-up and dump for the intercooler. You should run the water through a sea strainer, because if the transom pick-up gets blocked, the intercooler wont work and the fuel temp will rise....not good....
Let the drive supply water to the engine heat exchanger.
With regard to the stock 496 MAG HO pistons.......I ran them in my Whippled 496 up until I sold it......No problems....

Is there a gauge to tell What size in inches, there is in relation to boost.
