Prochargers
 
Anyone ever squeeze Prochargers into a 283 Convincor with twin 454 Mag EFI's? Mine is a 1999 model. Just curious. TIA

Just talked to Kunkels and got some good feedback. Looks like they will squeeze in.

You already run some pretty respectable #s, don't you? (If I remember right it ran pretty good)
Procharged is going to be an animal!
What kind of steering setup are you running? Drives?

Kunkels is the best for this project hands down

A best of 75.6 on GPS so far. Boat is still all stock, never cracked open, with about 180 hours now. I want more, but who doesn't? :drink:

The Prochargers are a long shot for me, but doing some research just in case. Never know!

I have full-hydraulic external steering and Bravo 1's. Kunkels says most of their customers go to XR's. I'm thinking that, if anyone can get away with keeping B1's, it would be my boat, but maybe that's not realistic. Still learning.

They were very helpful! Jason was quick to answer my questions.

Sounds like a worth while upgrade since the steering is already there...

The prochargers whouldn't be terribly hard on the drives down low, and with some mild boost- maybe they'd live for a while? I'm guessing that you're just thinking of bolting them up to the stock motors- since they have such low hours? So, you'd probably be running some very mild boost anyways?

I'd contact Mr.Gadgets to see what he thinks about the drives with what you're considering- if anyone can make them last, he can:D

Well, I'd start with mild boost, anyway. lol

As long as you are easy out of the hole and no wake jumping you should be fine. That bravo can handle your engine with boost. Jason knows that also, but being in his line of work he can not tell you it will be fine.
