My boat has the 496 Mag HO, and I have read many threads regarding supercharging, adding the Raylar kit, etc, and have seen costs from 6k all the way up to 10k for these kits and installations.
I do not recall any thread regarding the Chevy crate racing motors, and a boating application. I was wondering why some of the re-power, or add power guys have not looked into these motors? The particular motor below is 620 hp and 675 lbs torque at a little over 12k.
Any information regarding these motors would be greatly appreciated.

There has been some talk on that motor. Look around. They are set up tight for marine use & a little high on the comp.
