Well if i bough the boat from the original owner, i would of gotten well versed on the system from him, But I have had very little conversation with the initial owner and he told me what he could remember. I am trying to at least make an attempt to understand the system and to make sure it is set up correctly.

I would make sure timing is no greater then 30 degrees. Make sure the fuel system is like Jason says. Make sure spark plugs are cool-cold ones. List the sparkplug that is installed now and someone will know if that is the correct one to be using.

I am not sure on the type of spark plugs. THe mechanic has the boat right now and is putting the new steeering on it. I will check with him though. Spark plugs make a difference?

In my area, these type of boats are far and few. My resources are limited. My mechanic just moved to a different marina. The owner at the marina used to race boats and is familiar, with the prochargers and his other mechanic has installed them at that location. Just after reading some of the threads. I am just trying to cover all my bases and not have any problems. So I am trying to do the best i can to make sure my set up is correct. It just seems after reading some of these threads, who do you trust with this type of work. It sounds like even some professional are not reliable. You would think call procharger would be a reliable source since they build them, and know them inside and out, but a thread on here said no, and i talked to a race shop in tenn. and they said they don't know anything. I am just doing my best

Install O2 sensor bungs on your exhaust, have a 02 meter on it and drive it around and watch your afr's, if waay off then have ecu re-tuned or turn fuel pressure up/down as needed IF its rich or lean acrossed the board (never is though), and you will have a safe, decent set-up. Have someone read the plugs after a wot run and see how they look too if concerned, Smitty
