How about resistance in turning it? Should it be super easy to turn or offer some resistance?

The only way to determine actual air temperatures in the manifold is with a temp probe/gauge. The blower case feeling thing can be misleading.
Couple other things. The 250 blowers mounting setup kinda sucks. Very often, guys would overtorque the 4 bolts holding it on, and distorting the case. The teflon doesnt like that. I've actually torqed the blower down to spec, and felt the binding from the stripping when turning it after mounting. I had to loosen bolts, and tighten them in a fashion where the teflon did not rub the case anymore.
The o-ring that seals the blower to the manifold, sucks. I'd run the gasket RBS sells for them. I've ran both, and the RBS gasket simply seals, the o-rings didntt. B&M actually came out with a tech bulletin at one point, advising customers to stop using the o rings and use the gasket. not sure which one your using, but just thought i'd mention that.

Joe, you might have it nailed with the o-ring gasket. I was going to replace it, but it got really well so I went with it. Crap. Still shouldn't be falling off at 5500, but that's probably a separate issue.
I did torque the case to the manifold correctly (12 ft lbs).

Pm commandersander on here if I'm a liar. I bought the motors from him. And he told me the blowers were brand new beside basically dyno time and made 653hp on 5psi I believe. It pushed my boat to 94.8 on GPS and I literally only ran it for maybe 15 hrs.
