Baja 30 OL w 496HO - procharge or raylar
 

Looking for a 30OL for a buddy right now, and he seems all hot and horny to add a procharger to a set of 496HO's, I'm kinda worried the 496 can't handle the procharger and the motor will be shot in no time.

Someone told me to look into a Raylar engine kit, stating that with the re-build it'll have more longevity.

Anyoen have any experience with this, and has anyone put raylar 496HO's into a 30OL?

As well, what are the raylar parts worth?

If you want a supercharged motor, go with the Whipple kit. The kit is the most complete and support after the sale cannot be beat.

If you want to stay N/A then I recommend the Raylar stuff, again good kit with great support.

You will see more horsepower and torque with the blower setup.

Could be selling mine....2004 with HO's and only 24 hours

I don't think you can fit ProChargers in the bilge of a 30 Outlaw. It is extremely tight in there.

Raylar all the way.

also search Raylar in the General forum, just ask any Merc Tech what Whippling a HO will do, hmm, sounds a bit X rated in here.

How to supercharge a Mercruiser 496 ??
 

A properly prepared (all forged internals) Raylar w/Whipple 496 engine can "Kick butt and take names", There are a few in boats around the country that are working beautifully. We just don't recommend supercharging on a stock block 496 especially with some of the other units on the market that have no ECM reprogramming available versus Whipple who now has an excellent program for the Raylar w/Whipple supercharged engine specification that we worked with Dustin to develop. We would like to see more of these with Whipple's new 3.3 Supercharger on a Raylar prepared and equipped motor, now your talk'in!

Best Regards,

He better save some $$$ for Outdrives also!

haha...yip...i told him it was gonna be a lot more $$$ tahn just the boat and motors, and not a cheap upgrade, but he's fine and willing...
