It looks like you are using some very high quality parts. I am not a blower expert by any means, but it looks like your combo should make a stout 850 plus HP. One suggestion would be to be sure you do your homework when selecting your carbs. I personally would probably give Dean Nickerson a call and would spend a little extra to assure the carbs are right. His prices are a little high, but with the parts you have listed I don't think you are looking to get by cheap. What are you putting that motor in? Is it going to be a Bravo drive killer? I'm sure it will be pretty wicked!!!!

I am looking to run this in my Cole. That is what I had in mind between 850-900 horses, this setup will push over 1000 HP with 14.25-1 compression. I will drop it to about 10-1 for pump gas. Thanks for the info on the carbs, that is why I didn't list any carb info...I want to be VERY sure about that. I don't think my Bravo 1 will like this setup...hehehe

I think 2 Nickerson stage 5 1050 Dominators will be nice on that set up. Brad Perry has a similar set up to what you are building. He is slightly smaller on cam and a B & M 420 blower and I think it made 865 HP. What kind of exhaust and which Cole hull are you running?

I would go with lower compression (7.7-8.0)& if need be crank up more boost. More total HP can be made that way.

Be sure to use a needle-bearing cam button and torrington bearing behind the gear. Also invest in a cast timing cover. This will prevent cam walk that will throw your timing off.

Other choice is crank-triggered ignition (eliminates spark scatter).
