Hi everyone, I have a 30' campion chase with a 500hp,cmi headers(525 php with headers and computer re-programmed). Throttle body fuel injected. It has a volvo dpx outdrive on it and presently runs 71mph on gps with 3/4 of fuel in it. I would like to put a supercharger on it however would like to know which one would be the best and also how much more mph can I gain?
Thanks in Advance

Throwing this against the wall.....
Might be easier/cheaper in short term and long term to install a carb'd Whipple system on it.
Custom this and that on an EFI system not being programmed in person can become...well....troublesome.

Dustin you are right about the v-belts and computer, so your saying the 3 inches of clearance is in the front of the closed cooling system or back(closer to the motor).

B4 you start throwing $ at the engine you may want to talk with someone about the counter rotating props on the lower unit. Because you will probably end up putting 2 larger pitch props at some point you may run into a hydro dynamic issue. I may be wrong, but i seem to remember when Merc had the Blackhawk drive they found out there was a maximum speed on the unit. Do some research.

Whipple Charged Volvo
So what did you finally do with your Volvo HP525? Whipple? Did you have to relocate your heat exchanger? I would like to know because I want to Whipple charge my Volvo HP500. Thanks
