496 Procharger
A buddy of mine is thinking of buying a new boat with a 496. The dealer is a Procharger dealer as well. He want to add a procharger to the boat with 3.5LBS of boost and make 560HP. Questions>>> Has anyone done this? How reliable is it for the long run?? Will it make it 3 years???
Thanks for the advice. I have little experience with the 496.

The stock fuel system will not work, neither on 3 nor on 5 PSI
A friend of mine has put a Procharger to a 496 HO in a Baja 272
He changed the fuel system and the drives to XR
You can find test results here (all speed in knots)

Its hard to read but you will understand the test results
But he says If Raylars Parts would have been available in 2002 - he would choose them

Up to 600 HP without a blower from any 496
