Fuel lines have been redone, high flow filter,a return has been added and intake ported. But I do feel the same way about set up. Was thinking about going to a fast setup or just go carberated with a blow through. Anybody have experience with the fast setup in a marine application. Would still like to get this thing going in the mean time.

not sure if you fixed your problem... Hopefully so,,, But you need someone with the right tools and know how to plug into it and tune it.

I have a fast system on my boat and I love it. Granted, I'm not supercharging mine, but for my NA application it's been a flawless performer.

is your gauge showing vacuum at idle or even boost when you rev it..try taking the tube off at the throttle body to make sure your intercooler is not ruptured and spraying water into the throttle body..

What I don't get is on initial start up after rebuild it seem to run find, then after shutting it done once I looked it over it all went to crap.

try to start it again.if it starts,continue on,if it doesn't.stop and pull some plugs.find out if they're wet or dry.then we can go from there.
sounds like tuning,,in like in the boat tuning.
wet or dry exhaust?

I was thinking the same thing, "in the boat tuning". Do you have any way to put on AFR gauge on it.

If it was mine I would take a look at the Holley HP controller. Will tune in the boat for you. Take a look at the Thread
"EFI for Everyone"

We've had good luck luck with the Fast systems, the newer self tune works very well, it actually tunes while you're driving around, none of the stop and install the tune BS.
