According to some things I've read about regarding roots blowers, is that a tighter blower, will make more boost, however, it will also make more heat. A looser blower, makes less boost, but also less heat. I almost wonder if the 540ci build, with the stage 3 style blower, simply made more heat, because of the tighter tolerances. 20-25 degree hotter at idle.

I now see the benefits of intercooling for max HP applications thanx to the gauge. The intercooled motor ran 25* cooler can`t argue with that.
In my personal application which is a low effective compression ratio, underdriven blower, I could spend a nice chunk of $$ for intercoolers and gain about 25hp.. or just turn up the boost another pound .
More good data will be collected on a 90* day and a WOT run

No the boat is rigged for them and I thought it looked like sh!t trying to plug all the rigging on the boat to leave them off. Plus if I know I am going to be running it super hard I like to be able to use them!

Ok, been doing some reading here. I have water getting into the motor somehow and I'm beginning to think it's the intercooler, haven't pressure tested it yet. Can these things leak bad enough to get a considerable amount of water in the crank case?
Also, have capped off and pressure tested the block, the oil cooler, done a leak down on each cylinder, all checks out.
At this point my only two options seem to be reversion or the intercooler
