540 w m-3 sc, with 3.85 pulley I dynoed at 12-13 lbs of boost on 92/93 octane pump gas (1057 hp), run 14 lbs with 20% race gas with 3.70 pulley (1115 hp). With these smaller pulleys it makes boost EARLY and FAST too if you lean on it anywhere above 3000-3200. It also made about 10-11 psi with 4.00 pulley and just over 1000 hp, Smitty

IF a Prochargerd marine motor has EFI, afr's verified/tuned on water at wot, aluminum heads and compression close to or around 8-1 along with 75-80 MAX degree lake water for innercooler 12-13 lbs is easily reliable, I have ran that kinda boost for quite a while and haven't hurt a motor yet, Smitty
