Procharger experts....
 
A guy locally is selling a Procharger setup and MPI intake. His boat has a 502 MPI, and he's selling the boat and this loose kit. Is it the same setup for a 454 MPI as a 502 MPI? I've got some research to do.

Anyone with firsthand knowledge of installation issues, hours, etc.? Setup?

I don't know much about S/Cs, but I can get it for a really good price. I'm just thinking of grabbing it for a future upgrade.... hadn't really planned on it. Here's a pic he has on his ad, says he has all the parts.... :

Same thing, that fits the 454 but you might want to have the ECM re-mapped for your motor...?

Great for drag cars have heard if tune is off at all in boats they'll melt the internals

Too bad Procharger supply's the kit "wrong". Their fuel delivery system is sh!t & even when installed per their instruction meltdown is gonna happen.
Procharger needs a proper fuel system & a properly tuned ECM to be reliable. There can be no other argument to this on a marine application.

Right, when my buddy bought his 353 with HP500/prochargers the previous owner smoked one engine every summer, my buddy re designed system and used A1000 Pumps, I 5/8 feed 1/2" return lines, runs around 800hP 7lbs boost 107MPH 4 seasons now...

One key is O2 sensors to monitor A/F and EGT to monitor temps..

Blowers are great IF you do your homework and make em right....

best bang for buck powerwise..
