To Procharge........or not???

[crazy eyes]

I have a stock merc. 454 with bravo one. what do you guys REALLY think of the blow threw types. And if i do it what kind of power gains should I expect.
Thanks Boys, and beers to all!

I think you should buy one. Because:
I have one for sale. Latest greatest compressor and assortment of pulleys intercooler etc.
PM if interested.
My honest opinion is they are OK for something like you have. using only a little boost.
If you really try and make some big boost with a blow through, they are tune up nightmares.

i am with infomaniac. he has a great price on that setup he has for sale. if i can sell my m1 i want to buy it. his will sell fast so if you are at all serious i would get in contact with infomaniac.

Here is a pic of the setup. 3K with extra pulleys.
Imagine a quad rotor Marine Assault 540 in it's place.

Thanks for postin....INFO., So what kinda of power will I gain with it. lets say 3 lbs of boost?

[Infomaniac]

No way to tell for sure.
Enough to wake it up. Later on when you upgrade the insides, quite a bit.

is that a 21' edge your puttn the 540 in....
That things gonna fly.
So is that in place of the cougar or do you still have that whole set up?
P.s. once again. thanks for the info! :)

that motor will handel 5lbs intercooled with no issue. good pump gas and no more than 30deg timing. procharger makes a nice kit easy to instal, not bad looking, fits nice under the hatch. the m3 info has might be a little much for what you want to do, but i am sure you could change pullies to keep boost low. if you want to save $500.00 i will sell you my comp m1 kit 12rib all pollished. i will buy the m3 from info for my 540 that i will be running 9lbs of boost and could use the bigger M3. don't get me wrong i am not trying to tell you not to buy the kit info has, but this way we both get what we need. let me know if you are interested and i will get in touch with info. my m1 kit includes 3lb, 5lb, and 7lb pullies.

P.s. once again. thanks for the info! :) The 540 is going in a 23' sterndrive tunnel. Wyatt's performance boats made in Oklahoma. Looking for 120 MPH. Pic is the engine coming out. The whole engine is for sale. Needs a new block or a good repair to previous head gasket burn between cylinders. Everything else good. Will probably part it out on e-bay. Procharger is already listed. Better hurry.
