Hello,
I have a question about putting a blower (Whipple or Procharger) on my stock 7.4/300hp carburated Mercruiser. I am only looking for modest power gains (say 40%) and I would keep it within stock RPM limits, since the motor has cast pistons, 2 bolt mains, etc.
My question is this: When I prop-up, to take advantage of the extra HP on top, will the boat be a dog out of the hole?
At what RPM do these kits start to make boost? (assuming I'm pulley'd for 5 psi) Is this is good choice for an "all around boat" where I still want to do a little skiing and maintain decent cruising MPG and reliability.
Thanks to all!!!
